Comment 1 Thiago Macieira 2005-02-07 21:18:08 UTC 
I'm sorry, I cannot understand you.

Are you saying that when you mount a filesystem by clicking on its KDE icon, the options that are used are those that a user would see? If so, how is that a bug?
Comment 2 classic 2005-02-08 00:00:45 UTC 
no
---------------
my fstab:
/dev/hda5        /mnt/abdo        vfat  defaults,iocharset=utf8,umask=0000         1   0
when i mount by terminal(as root or user) my mtab is:
/dev/hda5 /mnt/abdo vfat rw,iocharset=utf8,umask=0000 0 0   (it is true)
when i mount by kde icons (as user) my mtab is:
/dev/hda5 /mnt/abdo vfat rw,iocharset=utf8,umask=0000 0 0   (it is true)

but when i mount by kde icons (as root) my mtab is:
/dev/hda5 /mnt/abdo vfat                                   (it is not complete)

the bug in kde icons as root only.
Comment 3 Martin Koller 2005-02-15 22:11:56 UTC 
Confirmed.
I tested with having the following in fstab:
/dev/hda2        /mnt/xxx         vfat        umask=002,shortname=winnt  1   0

After mounting from a .desktop file on the desktop as root, mount shows:
/dev/hda2 on /mnt/xxx type vfat (rw)

When I do mount /mnt/xxx it in a shell, I get:
/dev/hda2 on /mnt/xxx type vfat (rw,umask=002,shortname=winnt)
Comment 4 Martin Koller 2005-02-15 22:23:34 UTC 
I think the correct product is kio
Comment 5 David Faure 2010-10-22 15:11:12 UTC 
Indeed, this is because kio_file tries "mount <dev> <mountpoint>" first (since both are in the .desktop file) before it falls back to "mount <mountpoint>".
But as root both work, so the options are discarded. Could be fixed by comparing the requested device with the one in the fstab....

Is this use-case still widely-used? usually Solid with the Udisks backend handles this nowadays.
