Not knowing this bug, I created another patch: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/devkit-devel/2015-April/001668.html
I like the idea here: configure mount options in the udev files. But I would like to be able to do more: being able to configure selected mount options (e. g. exec/noexec, shortname, codepage, fmask, dmask, tz=UTC, time_offset,...) by a non-privileged user. It is now impossible. Merging features of both together (udev support, non-privileged support, per-device, per-fs and per volume configuration) would create a very nice, flexible and comfortable solution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to udisks2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1153781 Title: Can not run .exe .com and .bat from NTFS formated USB flash drive Status in ntfs-3g: New Status in udisks: Confirmed Status in udisks2 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: 1. Description of the problem: Currently NTFS formated USB flash drives do not have the exec bit for {exe,com,bat}. Use of NTFS makes more sense for some users , as pen drives tend to have larger capacities than earlier . "vfat" support 'showexec' mount option, which is currently not implemented on ntfs-3g. The use case is necessary when we have applications that are multi platform. 2. How reproducible is the problem? Always. Format a usb key with NTFS and copy some .exe files. Insert it to the usb port and let Nautilus open it. Files won't have the +x bit enabled. drwxr-x---+ 4 root root 4096 Mar 11 16:11 .. -rw------- 1 user1 user1 29 Mar 8 14:20 aaa.exe 3. Workaround You can umout and mount manually with the following command. But it defeats the purpose of having proper permissions from the start. sudo mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /media/lborda/ 4. Additional info: * ntfs-3g allows for exec mount option, which enables execute bit for all files. * We would also need to enable "showexec" bit in udisk for ntfs, or allow for https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33461 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ntfs-3g/+bug/1153781/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
