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
