Mount options for external drive

Hi,
I have an external eSATA drive, that is connected 90% of the time.
As its not always attached I can't put in in /etc/fstab - as the OS won't
boot it the device is missing - unless I'm missing some option.
So I let it get auto mounted, I'm not sure by what mechanism, HAL,
DeviceKit, gnome-mount or some combination of the above F11 has completely
confused me. Plus I seem to need to set filesystem-mount-system-internal
to get it mount if initially plugged in on boot.
So it all working, except I was looking for ways for setting mount options
i.e noatime, nodiratime. Is it possible ? Some sort of HAL policy ?
Thanks for any advice
Andy
