Not at all. You can use "noauto" (don't automatically mount at boot time) and "user" (allows any user to mount/unmount) as mount options in fstab. If you do this, you may need different mount points for different filesystems, as the "user" option won't allow you to override the fstype. You can also use autofs to automount the disk. I've just started doing this with my zip drive and it works fine, though there's no good way to force the disk to be unmounted.
