You can use gnome-volume-manager to do this, but you must have mount points setup in fstab first.

If you have a usb drive connected at /dev/sda1 you can add that to fstab and then gnome-volume-manager should do the rest.

  /dev/sda1   /mnt/usbpen  vfat   defaults,noauto,sync  0   0

In my experiences, gnome-volume-manager will automatically make a mount point in /media for devices not defined in /etc/fstab. Ivman does that as well, and deletes it once you unplug the device.

for the record, you can do this directly in udev without the need for anything except a simple bash script

gnome-volume-manager does the job, unless you try eject a CD. gvm seems to ignore this and does not unmount the volume. however as long as you use simple usb stick/thumbdrives/pendrives it's ok, but you should add sync /etc/fstab options to prevent data loss
