That said, I do not know of any way that will let you connect your drive to any (Linux?) system and expect it to be automounted onto some specific mount point (assuming the mount point exists).
F14 at least will take an ext4 formatted disk and automount it to /media/$LABEL where the label is set with e2label. Likewise with any filesystem F14 supports, using the filesystem-appropriate label utility.
As to ownership, you have to set that after it's mounted with the normal filesystem tools.
Example: [root@localhost ~]# mount [snip] /dev/sdb1 on /media/wd500gbu3-bak type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev) [root@localhost ~]# e2label /dev/sdb1 wd500gbu3-bak [root@localhost ~]#dmesg [snip] [ 27.017416] usb 6-1: new SuperSpeed USB device using xhci_hcd and address 2 [ 27.029856] xhci_hcd 0000:0d:00.0: WARN: short transfer on control ep [ 27.030227] xhci_hcd 0000:0d:00.0: WARN: short transfer on control ep [ 27.030609] xhci_hcd 0000:0d:00.0: WARN: short transfer on control ep [ 27.031094] xhci_hcd 0000:0d:00.0: WARN: short transfer on control ep [ 27.031281] usb 6-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1058, idProduct=0730 [ 27.031290] usb 6-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 27.031297] usb 6-1: Product: My Passport 0730 [ 27.031301] usb 6-1: Manufacturer: Western Digital [ 27.031306] usb 6-1: SerialNumber: YOUDIDNTTHINKIDLEAVETHISHEREDIDYOU [ 27.121613] Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...

Works just like automount of a USB flash drive does.
