Comment 13 for bug 435192

I'd call this a bug in ntfs-3g -- it should automatically default to mounting the device read-only if it is read-only, just as mount does for any other file system.

Unfortunately ntfs-3g does not have a bug tracker. I'll ask the Debian maintainer about how to submit bugs to ntfs3-g, but adding a distro task for now.

I don't really like that patch. udisks should not silently modify explicitly given options, i. e. turn "rw" into "ro". I could live with a workaround that appends "ro" if "rw" is not given, and the file system is NTFS, once the bug is reported upstream. I asked the primary upstream maintainer whether he'd be okay with this.

@James: the udisks task is invalid for quantal because the "udisks" source is the obsolete 1.x version. We are using udisks2 now, which has its own task with quantal only. However, when this gets fixed properly in ntfs-3g, it will work for any udisks version.
