From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: When I insert a CD-ROM made on another Unix-like system (such as MacOS X), it is mounted but the files are not readable unless I take special measures to make sure the mode for the file is 644 or 755 for executables. The files/folders are not owned by me even though I'm at the console physically mounting the disk and I'm logged in. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): udev-039-10.FC3.6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert a CD-ROM into my CD-ROM burner or DVD-ROM player. 2. Open a terminal window and note who I am, and get a long file listing of what's on the disc I just mounted. 3. Note that I can't read the files and they're not owned by me. Actual Results: $ whoami jbn $ ls -l /media/cdrom total 666539 -rw-r----- 1 501 nobody 374243884 Nov 1 07:53 b2v-2004-10-31.wav -rw-r----- 1 501 nobody 308290604 Oct 30 11:18 nfn-2004-10-30 edited.wav Expected Results: I should have seen the files owned by me and with at least read and/or exec permissions so I can read all files and browse all directories on the volumes I just mounted. Additional info: none.
Udev does not have to do anything with mount or filesystems...
Apparently I have misfiled the bug. The bug remains -- media is mounted in such a state that the user can't read it in an ordinary way. One needs root authorization to read the files. Is there a document I can read to learn where this bug ought to be filed or can you make a suggestion? Thanks.
the files belong to user id 501 and group nobody. the disc is maybe burned with the RockRidge extension or UDF, which extends a CD with user permissions. You may mount the CD with special options (see the mount manpage) or burn the CD without RockRidge or UDF. Google is your friend also :)
