Package: mount Version: 2.13.1.1-1 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], debian-user@lists.debian.org
I notice a problem. The mount(8) defaults have no easy way of being changed by root, without having to recompile something. Wouldn't it be nice in /etc/fstab to be able to add a line "Here are the new defaults (in general, or for e.g., just vfat). Any disk mounted beyond this point in fstab or from the command line shall now use these defaults unless otherwise specified on that mount command line." E.g., "The new defaults for vfat are shortname=mixed,noatime,fmask=133". No more need for long command lines or wrapper shell scripts to set them next somebody hands you a key chain USB disk to plug in, etc. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
