Am I right in understanding that you are suggesting I go the the g-v-m source code, alter that and then recompile it? If so, I have some difficulties: I only download the .deb packages so for the moment I do not have the source code, I think I would not know what I was doing sufficiently well and it seems a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a nut!If I'm not mistaken, g-v-m will call pmount-hal by default, and depending on the device, pmount-hal will mount with different settings. But I also think g-v-m can specify additional settings pmount-hal should use. At least a quick grep through the g-v-m source finds most of the available mount options that can be used with pmount.
Looking at the g-v-m binary suggests that what it does with pmount is just to take the settings it is provided with. I appreciate that there is probably a workaround possible involving getting g-v-m to ignore some settings. However, I would prefer to do it "properly" by locating the setting in the appropriate configuration file. But, back to my original question, where is it?
