I have '/dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb auto noauto,user,umask=000 0 0'.
This is ok as long as I use only 1 USB stick at the same time:
Udev creates  /dev/sdb1  when the stick is inserted
& would create  /dev/sdb2 etc  if there were  > 1 ,
so that would require additional lines in 'fstab'.

I 'mount /dev/usb1 /mnt/usb' from the root command-line:
there is already a dir  /mnt/usb , which I created earlier,
& 'umask=000' in 'fstab' ensures I can access the stick as user.
Once I have mounted the stick like this,
I can read/write to it from my user's command-line or use Krusader with it.
