So knowing how lame NetworkManager in 5.x is, I suggested viable solution for his particular problem, unmovable headless CentOS 5.x
And thanks for NM cli commands, I might need it when my laptop goes C6.
Which is why I mentioned them, as that is the direction upstream is going. EL5 probably will never have many of the very nice amenities that EL6 has.
But the whole NM thing isn't actually on the line of the OP's question; that was about hotplugged USB drives.....
A similar but worse situation most likely. There's a lot of gunk that assumes that the person logged into the console automatically owns some of the devices - a concept that doesn't make much sense in the context of a multiuser system that can handle concurrent users. And I think some of that is wired into the GUI parts. I'd say you are better off avoiding that and mounting/unmounting things the way you want.
