Package: pmount
Version: 0.8-2
Severity: normal

pmount(1) says pmount will call mount for devices listed in /etc/fstab.
However it doesn't recognise fstab entries that use a label rather than
a device name.

I want to override the permissions when mounting a particular USB hard
drive, so I listed it in /etc/fstab. I used LABEL=IHP100 instead of a
device name; it's not desirable to hardcode a device name for a
removable device. However, pmount didn't find the entry and mounted it
itself instead. When I did put /dev/sdc1 instead it worked.

Alternatively it would be nice if you could override the permissions (eg
disable noexec). I know -e will disable noexec, but in my case pmount is
being called from gnome-volume-manager so I have no control. I suppose
g-v-m should really add that as an option rather than changing pmount.

thanks
