Bug ID: 495440
Summary: Additional mount options options are overrided by GUI
options (users takes priority over exec)
Classification: Applications
Product: partitionmanager
Version: 24.08.2
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: andr...@stikonas.eu
Reporter: sherigu...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
All options mentioned below apply to a "Edit mount point" window.
When "users can mount and unmount" option is checked and "exec" option is
present in "More…" (additional mount options), the order is that additional
options go first in /etc/fstab, then "users" option is added (which is enabled
by checkbox mentioned above), but "users" implies "noexec", so "exec" is never
applied. To have both "users" and "exec", "exec" must go *after* "users" in
/etc/fstab. This seems impossible to do in KDE Partition Manager right now?
I edited /etc/fstab manually and moved "exec" after "users", now I have the
permissions I need. This wasn't the case when I used Partition Manager mount
point editor. I might be wrong here, but I think additional options im "More…"
window should go after the options selected by checkboxes in GUI. Turns our,
order matters.
Because of this issue I wasn't able to launch some software from my partition,
in particular games from Steam won't run when steam's game library is in a
partition whose mount options were chosen using KDE partition manager.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Edit a mount point
2. Check the "users can mount and unmount" option
3. Add "exec" in "More…" window
4. "No binary execution" checkbox stays unchecked (I think this is the default)
OBSERVED RESULT
/etc/fstab has options "exec,users" for that partition, with "users" overriding
"exec" option because it goes after it. This results in a partition mounted
with "noexec", as this is implied by "users" option.
EXPECTED RESULT
/etc/fstab should have options "users,exec" for that partition, resulting in
both "users" and "exec" working, this is most likely what a user expects when
adding "exec" in the "More…" window.
