I'm ok with you not wanting all USB drives to be mounted read-only --
such is the default behavior of Ubuntu. But I and the company I work
for want it to be that way to comply with out security policies. And
since HAL is already deprecated, the workaround I found for recent
Ubuntu versions is to use the udev rule I posted above. Your assertion
about the rule is correct and it is intended to be that way.
That is not the bug here.
When udisks detects the media to be read-only, it correctly mounts them
as read-only for FAT/exFAT and ext2/3/4 filesystems. For NTFS, it is
forcing a read-write mount which then results in an mount error because
the media is read-only.
** Changed in: udisks (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => New
