One small correction - there is a difference between user and users.

user   Allow an ordinary user to mount the file system. The name of
        the mounting user is written to mtab so that he can unmount
        the file system again. This option implies the options
        noexec, nosuid, and nodev (unless overridden by subsequent
        options, as in the option line user,exec,dev,suid).

users  Allow every user to mount and unmount the file system. This
        option implies the options noexec, nosuid, and nodev (unless
        overridden by subsequent options, as in the option line
        users,exec,dev,suid).

If any user should be able to unmount, then use users instead of 
user in the fstab line. The owner option is similar to the user 
option, with the restriction that the user must be the owner of the 
special file. This may be useful e.g. for /dev/fd if a login script 
makes the console user owner of this device. The group option is 
similar, with the restriction that the user must be member of the 
group of the special file.
