Comment 11 for bug 195630

Hello,
This problem only effected my other non root directory mount spots as well. I did NOT end up fixing the problem completely just seemed to take away the symptom of not being able to execute and move files, i am still unable to change file permissions using nautilus. Its been a while since got it to work again, i don't remember why it worked but i think i added a boot option called umask to my fstab. https://wiki.umiacs.umd.edu/umiacs/index.php/Umask read up more about umask. At first i set umask=000 but apparently that is bad and allows anyone to be able change my folder permissions so now im using umask=022(more secure). Not 100% sure what i did to it so you might have better luck on forums. Here is my fstab for comparison (its been modified so i don't even remember what some of the other stuff is for). good luck.
