I want to modify the default mount options for pendrives (in this case to add "noatime"). Since mounting is done via the Device Notifier, that would seem to be the place to start. I've looked under System Settings/Advanced/Device Actions but I don't see any obvious way to make the change. There doesn't seem to be anything under /etc/udev either, or in /etc/fstab. Where is this stuff set up?

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168914 - no mount options anywhere for external drives, e.g. vfat shortname

Interesting. The bug report goes back nearly 18 months and a lot of people have commented on it, but still no solution. Not good, especially as Gnome can apparently handle this and KDE 3 also could.

This is not automatic, but what I do is:
mount -o remount,option1,option2 /dev/sdxy /media/disk

Interesting kludge :-) I'll try it.
