P.S. completely removing dmask from the mount options and letting /media/username "cover" the permission issues, couples well with UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED, so that people that want USB drives to be shared across users, can just specify UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED="1" in udev for those drives.
Then /media/mountpoint will be world-readable for vfat/ntfs, as expected (as opposed to /media/username/mountpoint which is protected with the default UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED="0"). ** No longer affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/453605 Title: Make default mount umasks configurable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/453605/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
