Turns out that this just happened in 2.6.30 :) There are mode and dmode parameters that devicekit sets to full permissions. > The DVDs are broken, tell your friends their software is crap.

And while digging into it I found out that not only home-made, but many commercial DVDs are broken as well. I wish the 2.6.30 mode/dmode patch makes it into F11.

In the near furture you will be able to do -o mode=xxx,dmode=yyy as well. > I think similar other options for -o allow you to mount with the > executable bit set. The DVDs might work if you mounted it like this. True, but you need the kernel to understand dmode and mode. Looks like it's going to be >= 2.6.30 unless it is backported to the Fedora kernels. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
