Thanks for the fstab tip. I can definitely do what I want to do via
command line. I was just surprised to not find a GUI tool to do so.

I had looked at the man page for gnome-mount ... it states right in
there that it isn't really meant to me invoked by end users but rather
things like gnome-volume-manager ...  but gnome-volume-manager seems
to be pretty opaque as to its usage and meant to just run
automatically.

I remember seeing a tool in either an Ubuntu LiveCD or a GNOME Desktop
preview LiveCD. I thought that something like this was part of the
standard tools.
