I'd call this a bug in ntfs-3g -- it should automatically default to
mounting the device read-only if it is read-only, just as mount does for
any other file system.
Unfortunately ntfs-3g does not have a bug tracker. I'll ask the Debian
maintainer about how to submit bugs to ntfs3-g, but adding a distro task
for now.
I don't really like that patch. udisks should not silently modify
explicitly given options, i. e. turn "rw" into "ro". I could live with a
workaround that appends "ro" if "rw" is not given, and the file system
is NTFS, once the bug is reported upstream. I asked the primary upstream
maintainer whether he'd be okay with this.
@James: the udisks task is invalid for quantal because the "udisks"
source is the obsolete 1.x version. We are using udisks2 now, which has
its own task with quantal only. However, when this gets fixed properly
in ntfs-3g, it will work for any udisks version.
