I'd imagine it'd have to be mounted as writable to work in the manner
that you hope (I can never remember, for sure, if umask options in fstab
lets you clear or set permissions, I think it clears masked bits). I
suppose you could make a script that did a copy then a chmod on files,
and use that instead of directly using the cp command.
tar cC .. . | tar xpC ..
I have a slightly different annoyance that I haven't resolved: All
files on a CD are mounted as executable. I don't want that, it brings

Not on my machine, they aren't. Hmm. That's interesting.
Here's my fstab entry... (edited for space)
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,user,kudzu,exec,ro 0 0
It indeed mounts as RO, but not X.
about problems. If I only ever mounted ISO9660 discs I could change my
fstab configuration to resolve that (looking at what options are
available to me in the man file about this - mode presetting), but I
also mount UDF discs, and the option isn't compatible (for a single
fstab line mounting discs in either format, automatically). Mounting
them no-exec doesn't help.
Hmm. Odd. I run FC2, perhaps something changed?
My guess is it depends:-)
If the CD is created with rock ridge extensions, the permissions will be
correct (that's what the extensions are for).
Otherwise (typical of Windows and rellies), the permissions are much as
on my USB stick above; that's vfat.
Mote, there's magic you can put in the mount commandline (and where ever
the command's built) to say "noexec" and some other options.
