Forgot the link sorry.

"https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks/+bug/880965"

I opened a bug a few weeks ago about not being able to change the
default options that udev/udisks has introduced. In my case it was
showexec to noexec.

You can track that bug here, but I'm not too hopeful of it's acceptance
due to "pushback" especially without someone finding the time and
providing diffs to make those changes. I'm surprised when migrating from
older automounters that this functionality was allowed to slip away. I
would have thought it would be part of the specification and
testing/requirements to replace.

I guess the people who care about this type of correctness are using
BSD or Arch and have less say or gentoo and can just recompile.
