Description of problem: I inserted a VFAT formatted flash drive and it got automounted. However, all the files inside had executable (+x) permissions on them, so when I double-clicked them in Nautilus, it complained while trying to "run" the file the way you run executables or scripts IMHO this is not The Right Thing(tm), because on VFAT flash drives you expect docs and data (ordinary users' stuff), not Linux executables and scripts, so the permissions on the files should be only "r" and "w" - directories need to be "x" in order to access them. The appropriate fstab mount option is fmask: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fmask Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-media-2.22.0-2.fc9 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. insert VFAT flash disk with documents 2. double-click a document 3. watch a file manager complain Actual results: there is +x on the files Expected results: imho there should be -x Additional info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fmask
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
