The distros I mentioned create an icon on the desktop for each non-root partition not required at boot time. Windows (fat16/fat32/ntfs) partitions, USB devices, ext3 (/extra, /data), etc.

There is also the argument about whether a "user" should be able to mount and umount filesystems, or if this privilage should be reserved to the root operator. To me, that's a non-question, it should be specific to a given filesystem. No, the user can't unmount "/". Yes, they can mount a CD or a network share to their userspace.
