I have not yet had the opportunity to read the post above, but I *did* read
the code for udisks2 and I saw that it has a whitelist of filesystems and/or
options that may be passed to the program.

As you discovered, they are hardcoded---IMVHO, it would be much better to
have them be read from a file under /etc, since the administrator probably
knows better which options they need for their own devices.

That's the unfortunate situation of enforcing "sane" (ahem) policy from the
new desktops and people that work with them.

On a related note, I put the source code of usbmount on the following
repository:  https://github.com/rbrito/usbmount

Anybody is welcome to send me patches there (and if I have not replied,
please create an issue there, so that I may have not forgotten about your
issue) and I will gladly:

* Review your patch, hopefully, with help from the community of users.
* Keep the credits for each and every contribution (this is important for
  some people, as potential employers and/or funding agencies want to know
  how a given person spends their time).

Of course, if you don't want your contribution to be credited, that's
perfectly fine with me too.

*Any* kind of contribution is welcome, especially to the documentation,
since it was quite a long time ago that I last updated the package and many
pieces of outdated information are likely to be there.


Thanks,

Rogério Brito.
