Got sidetracked - turns out fuse and exfat on usb do not play well with |
| 2 |
mounts as a user due to changes late last year. It can now only be |
| 3 |
mounted/unmounted by root. |

The second part (also due to fuse) is that to stop fuse (silently as ls |
| 6 |
still showed the execute bit set) from interfering with execution of |
| 7 |
files on the mounted device) it must be mounted as the user under a user |
| 8 |
owned directory such as /home/user (mount cannot deal with this - it did |
| 9 |
in the past, but something has changed). So the solution is to mount |
| 10 |
via root as the user you want (via sudo) under a mount point in the |
| 11 |
users home. This may all be unique to fuse-exfat, and which versions of |
| 12 |
everything involved as I saw one email on the mechanics of the changes |
| 13 |
saying fat is handled a little differently due to a different use |
| 14 |
scenario. And ext2/3/4 etc don't have the problem at all. Auto-mount |
| 15 |
on device plugin still doesn't happen so thats next on my list. |

/etc/fstab: |

/dev/sda1 /home/myuser/mnt auto |

rw,auto,exec,uid=1000,gid=1000,users,user=myuser 0 0 |
