udevil changes permissions of mounted filesystem's root

[amckinlay]

Filesystem

[alarm@alarmpi ~]$ lsblk --output NAME,FSTYPE /dev/sda1
NAME FSTYPE
sda1 ext4

Mount with mount

[alarm@alarmpi ~]$ sudo mkdir /mnt/usb
[alarm@alarmpi ~]$ chacl -l /mnt/usb
/mnt/usb [u::rwx,g::r-x,o::r-x]
[alarm@alarmpi ~]$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
[alarm@alarmpi ~]$ chacl -l /mnt/usb
/mnt/usb [u::rwx,g::rwx,o::rwx]
[alarm@alarmpi ~]$ sudo umount /dev/sda1
[alarm@alarmpi ~]$ chacl -l /mnt/usb
/mnt/usb [u::rwx,g::r-x,o::r-x]
[alarm@alarmpi ~]$ sudo rm -r /mnt/usb

Mount with udevil

[alarm@alarmpi ~]$ udevil mount /dev/sda1
Mounted /dev/sda1 at /mnt/sda1-usb-Kingston_DataTra
[alarm@alarmpi ~]$ chacl -l /mnt/sda1-usb-Kingston_DataTra/
/mnt/sda1-usb-Kingston_DataTra/ [u::rwx,g::r-x,o::r-x]
[alarm@alarmpi ~]$ udevil unmount /dev/sda1

Check permissions again with mount

[alarm@alarmpi ~]$ sudo mkdir /mnt/usb
[alarm@alarmpi ~]$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
[alarm@alarmpi ~]$ chacl -l /mnt/usb
/mnt/usb [u::rwx,g::r-x,o::r-x]

udevil permanently changes my USB drive's ext4 root permissions to [u::rwx,g::r-x,o::r-x] from [u::rwx,g::rwx,o::rwx].

Actually I guess this is adjustable by the mount_point_mode family of settings in /etc/udevil/udevil.conf, but I don't think it should be udevil's job to change permissions of a partition's filesystem.

Personally I don't see any bad thing in this ability. But the default configuration, I think, should be to not to change anything by default.
