Udisks specifying a default mask was removed intentionally, leaving the
default to the NTFS driver. ntfs-3g defaults to all executable. People
often do have executable files on their NTFS drives and want to be able
to execute them. This has gone back and forth a few times over the
years and without the execute bit, less experienced users are unable to
make things work and don't understand why. With the bit, more
experienced users are... well, let's just say offended. I think we're
better off where we are, but maybe the ntfs-3g devs can chime in on why
it defaults to execute on when the in kernel driver does not. My guess
is that it is intentional but we'll see.
** Changed in: udisks2 (Ubuntu)
