Package: gnome-mount
Version: 0.6-1+b2
Severity: normal
As I'm sharing my removable USB storage devices with Czech edition of
Microsoft(R) operation system, I'd like to set some custom mount options
to have national characters translated correctly (-o utf8,codepage=852)
and to have sane permissions on FAT files (fmask=0133,dmask=0022).
I've created custom FDI file for HAL
# cat /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/fat_mount.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- -*- xml -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="block.is_volume" bool="true">
<match key="volume.fsusage" string="filesystem">
<match key="volume.fstype" string="vfat">
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.fmask=0133" type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.dmask=0022" type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.utf8" type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.codepage=852" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
which works fine, as lshal shows following for all my FAT based devices
...
volume.policy.mount_option.codepage=852 = true (bool)
volume.policy.mount_option.dmask=0022 = true (bool)
volume.policy.mount_option.fmask=0133 = true (bool)
volume.policy.mount_option.utf8 = true (bool)
...
and I'm happy so far. But when I try to mount my devices using Nautilus, mount
command reveals bad news:
...
/dev/sdd1 on /media/KINGSTON type vfat
(rw,nosuid,nodev,shortname=lower,uid=1000)
/dev/sde1 on /media/HT203 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,shortname=lower,uid=1000)
...
Seems like something (gnome-mount?) silently ignores mount options set by HAL.
Packages versions:
# dpkg -l | egrep -e hal\|gnome-mount\|pmount\|nautilus
ii gnome-mount 0.6-1+b2
wrapper for (un)mounting and ejecting storag
ii hal 0.5.9.1-2

ii nautilus 2.18.3-2 file

Just for the record, I believe similar behavior (but KDE issue) is reported
here:

That's not the way, how it is supposed to work (and that also why I'm
closing the bug report). When you are using gnome-mount, gnome-mount
will define the policy, hal is only a mechanism.
You will have to define the options within gnome-mount, which btw is
much easier:
Open nautilus
Right click on the drive and select properties.
Change the settings in the volume or drive tab.
gnome-mount will then pass these options down to hal.
Cheers,
Michael
