P.S. completely removing dmask from the mount options and letting /media/username "cover" the permission issues, couples well with UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED, so that people that want USB drives to be shared across users, can just specify UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED="1" in udev for those drives.
Then /media/mountpoint will be world-readable for vfat/ntfs, as expected (as opposed to /media/username/mountpoint which is protected with the default UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED="0"). ** No longer affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/453605 Title: Make default mount umasks configurable Status in GVFS: New Status in udisks package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in udisks2 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: There should be an easy way to configure the default umask for VFAT/NTFS/similar file systems (perhaps through the existing gconf system, which has /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options ?).
