mount reads /etc/fstab to look for instructions on what to do if not specifically told on the command line. After updating /etc/fstab as recommended, you can "mount" your USB disk reliably by specifying either the target directory:
mount /mnt/affadevice
mount /mnt/affadevice
+
or the disk label:

mount LABEL=MyLabel
