Commenting out the line in fstab allows mounting, and should theoretically
allow r/w access, but it only allowed read access for me on the 701.
Obviously, not every technical solution for a bug works for everyone, and in
this case, removing the line did not work for me.  If this solution doesn't
work, you could try messing around with fstab by creating a /media/usb
directory and then tried editing the fstab file by adding
rw,user,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,dmask=027,fmask=137
options.

Status in Ubuntu Eee: New

Bug description:
Ubuntu Eee is mainly installed though usb sticks.
Ubuntu thinks it's a cd and adds it to /etc/fstab
This f**ks everything up. Connecting something is ignored since there's an error in fstab

Ex:
/dev/sdb1     /media/cdrom0     udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0     0
