Allow to mount/unmount a specific device to a specific user

I know I can give permission to use "mount/unmount" through sudo some users without password.

But how can I give permission to use "mount/unmount" only for /dev/sda2 and not for /dev/sda10?

For example, some user can execute: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 ~/mnt/ntfs

But the same user must not have permission to execute: sudo mount /dev/sda10 ~/mnt/s10

you could create a simple file:

 sudo visudo -f /etc/sudoers.d/myOverrides

with this directive:

 User ALL = NOPASSWD:/sbin/mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /home/User/mnt/ntfs

This allow User to runs mount command with those parameter without entering a password.

Here is sudo manual for more details.
