Description Michal Jaegermann 2006-06-18 22:09:32 UTC
Description of problem:

gnome-mount when fed with an iso9660 CD created on Mac for some reasons
insist on mounting it with udf filesystem type even if udf is NOT listed
in /etc/filesystems.  It passess 'uid=<some_value>' option to mount but
this ends up with the following structure

   /media/<a_random_garbage_string>/<some_directory_name>/

A directory named by "<a_random_garbage_string>" indeed gets
"<some_value>.4294967295" ownership (4294967295 happens to be -1,
when interpreted signed, on this machine) but "<some_directory_name>"
happens to have 'rwxrwx--x" permissions and "501.501" ownership where
"501" is uid and gid from Mac of somebody who wrote that CD.
See bug #159860.  All real data sit below this "<some_directory_name>"
and, unless your uid happens to be 501 too, are not accessible.

If I will mount that CD with 

   mount -oro,uid=<some_value> /dev/cdrom /some/mount/point

then this CD mounts with 'iso9660' filesystem type, even without
explicitly specifying that, and there are no access problems.

The real issue is that I cannot dissuade gnome-mount from using
udf.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-mount-0.4-5 and gnome-mount-0.4-7 from rawhide

How reproducible:
Always.
