Thanks for the input.
In my case "blkid" is not showing any LABEL

It depends on what USB I insert:

#blkid /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb1: UUID="2f5fc53e-4f4c-4e74-b9c4-fca316b47fea" TYPE="ext2"

#blkid 
/dev/sdb1: UUID="3136-3934" TYPE="vfat"

so it would be hard to specify UUID in fstab for each momory card I insert.
In the past the line in fstab:
/dev/sdb1		/media/stick	auto    	noauto,rw,users        0  0

mounted both "ext2" and "vfat" USB as /media/stick so it is easier to reference to it in scripts.
But after recent update if I have this line in fstab the "ext2" USB is mounted as joseph:users 
but "vfat" USB is mounted as "root:root" 

If I remove the mounting line from fstab they mount with correct permission "joseph:users" but the mount point is reference as UUID and it makes it hard to reference 
it in bash scripts.
