[Bug 453605] Re: Make default mount umasks configurable
Quotting pitti from comment #2:
We won't change the behaviour in udisks, there needs to be some default after
all.
Please completely remove dmask from the vfat/ntfs mount options, like fmask
already is (absent).
Patch available at LP #482501.
I assume that dmask=0077 was added at some point in order to protect the
contents of the mountpoint?
Nowadays, all user-mounted media is protected by the attributes of the parent
directory, /media/username.
guest@pc:~$ ls /media/alkisg
ls: cannot open directory /media/alkisg: Permission denied
Inside /media/username/mountpoint, directories and files should be
world-readable to behave better when copied elsewhere (LP #592748), e.g. in
~/Documents, which is supposed to be world-readable by default.
For example, ~/.local is drwx-- but ~/.local/share is drwxr-xr-x,
similarly, /media/username should be drwx-- and
/media/username/mountpoint/folders should be drwxr-xr-x.
For people needing a quick workaround, and since none exists yet, here's a
really bad one that nevertheless does work for me:
# For the newer udisks2:
sudo sed 's/dmask=[0-9]\{4\}/dmask=0022/' -i /usr/lib/udisks2/udisksd
# For the older udisks:
sudo sed 's/dmask=[0-9]\{4\}/dmask=0022/' -i /usr/lib/udisks/udisks-daemon
# And reboot.
If udisks/udisks2 don't get fixed in some reasonable time, I'll upload
patches packages for the LTS Ubuntu releases in the Greek Schools PPA.
Unfortunately that'll be a pain, especially for udisks updates.
About configurability in nautilus, I don't think it will be needed if
dmask gets removed. And in any case configurability belongs in udisks,
not in packages that use udisks, because then every package that uses
udisks should provide such an option.
Thanks!

[Bug 453605] Re: Make default mount umasks configurable
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 Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/453605 Title: Make default mount umasks configurable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/453605/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 453605] Re: Make default mount umasks configurable
Amazing that this old bug manages to exist through 2011. Anyway - I've googled around, and the only fix seems to be the one described on this post : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devicekit-disks/+bug/482501/comments/13 However, when I tried to install the source for devicekit-disks, I got error message : Unable to find a source package for devicekit-disks I looked on the repository server, and the only source I could find is devicekit-disks_007.orig.tar.gz (example: http://kambing.ui.ac.id/ubuntu/pool/main/d/devicekit-disks/devicekit-disks_007.orig.tar.gz) So I downloaded it - then I found out that the content is different than the explanation in the post above. (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devicekit-disks/+bug/482501/comments/13) Here I'm stuck with 2 years old bug, with a workaround which doesn't work anymore.

I'm marking this regression-release, because as commented on in the duplicate, we went from Jaunty (HAL) offering NTFS drives as 777 by default (I believe), with gconf options to change permissions, to Karmic (devkit-disks / udisks) offering no way to change permissions from 700 -- and thus no way to share an NTFS USB drive with Samba. ** Tags added: regression-release ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #586708 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=586708 ** Also affects: nautilus via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=586708 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Project changed: nautilus = gvfs -- Make default mount umasks configurable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/453605 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Re: [Bug 453605] Re: Make default mount umasks configurable
I've tried the solution suggested above but when I stick the NTFS USB drive in, it says it can't mount it and point to this bit of documentation: Unprivileged block device mounts work only if all the below requirements are met: 1. ntfs-3g is compiled with integrated FUSE support 2. the ntfs-3g binary is at least version 1.2506 3. the ntfs-3g binary is set to setuid-root 4. the user has access right to the volume 5. the user has access right to the mount point http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#unprivileged But the default ntfs-3g version shipped with Lucid is not compiled with integrated FUSE support: u...@host:~$ ntfs-3g --version ntfs-3g 2010.3.6 external FUSE 28 u...@host:~$ So maybe that works only for FAT drives?
