If you remove the noauto, the init scripts will try to mount the
drive. The problem is, if the drive is not plugged in, the system
will not be able to mount it, and may not boot. (It is a USB drive.)
If there is an entry in /etc/fstab, then the hotplug auto-mounting
will not work.
If I remember correctly, auto-mounting in FC6 works better if the
partition has a name. If the NTFS partition was names SHAREd, then
the drive partition would get mounted on /media/SHARED. This also
works in later versions. Changing the permissions and mount options
different than using fstab, and involves learning a different set of
rules. But tools are being developed to make it easier.
