Description of problem:
The manual page lacks the information,
that you need to add a leading 0 to the octal umask option value.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mount-2.11b-3


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mount -t ntfs -orw,umask=222 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win
2. ls -l /mnt/win


Actual Results:  The umask octal value is 366, because 222 gets interpreted dezimal.


Expected Results:  dunno, but the manualpage should state that you'll need to
start the number with 0 to get expected result.
Comment 1 Elliot Lee 2002-03-27 19:31:16 UTC 
The entries for most of the filesystems already specify that the values for
umask or modes must be in octal, which implies a leading zero. I will add notes
to the ntfs filesystem and any others that are missing.
