USB External Drive Automounts as Read Only

[James Mcphee]

Quick and dirty would be to set an fstab entry with all the things you want
with it set to not mount on boot, so it doesn't interrupt you with the
blkid for the device.  Maybe.  Might take some playing.

Other things to try are in the help.ubuntu.com page for usb drives.
