Bug Description

/system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options on a clean install of gutsy/feisty has umask=0077, which makes all files +x. This means that files copied from a usb fat drive to the local drive will have the +x bit set, so Nautilus will always prompt for Run/Open.

Instead, mount_options should include fmask=0177 and dmask=0077 so that files are not +x.

It is a similar issue, however this bug is concerning hot-plugged hard drives (USB) that are automatically mounted when they are plugged in - and hence are not listed in /etc/fstab. The mount options for hot-plugged drives are controlled by the gconf key mentioned in the description.

To be honest I am not sure what package this belongs to.
