[SOLVED] FSTAB and File Permissions

Hi Guru's
I'm a new Arch user migrating from Ubuntu.
I have one hard drive partitioned as follows:
SDA1 NTFS
SDA2 / ext3
SDA3 / swap
SDA4 NTFS
I also have a semi permanent USB Hard Drive and various other USB devices which seem to be mounting fine under autofs. When / if, I solve my fstab problem, I will look into Udev to give these devices static names.
My problem is that no matter what I try, I cannot make the two NTFS drives accessible by a normal user (me). The following is from my current fstab file:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 ntfs rw,user,auto,uid=1000,gid=100,sync,umask=000 # my uid and the users group
/dev/sda4 /mnt/sda4 ntfs rw,user,auto,uid=1000,gid=100,sync,umask=000
This is one of dozens of combinations I have tried based on research and "RTFM". I just keep getting more confused. The directory entries show me as the owner, rw permissions and belonging to the user group, the only problem is that I can not write to those partitions as a normal user.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Any suggestions for links that tie in how fstab, autofs, udev and hal work together. I have seen links on all of them, but would like to see a brief overview on how they work together. As you can see, I'm one of those linux noobs.
Thanks
Larry

Hi luca,
Thanks for the link. I made the following changes:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 ntfs-3g users,noauto,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=0113,dmask=0002,locale=en_PH.utf8 0 0
/dev/sda4 /mnt/sda4 ntfs-3g users,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=0113,dmask=0002,locale=en_PH.utf8 0 0
Except for the locale, its working great. I still have to mount sda1 as root, which is probably a good idea for the other OSes partition. If I change it to auto it does mount automatically but thats flirting with danger
On to Udev
Thanks Again
Larry

Image Capture from iPhone to OS X and File Permissions

Hello. I'm running Lion 10.7.3 and have an iPhone 4S and iPad 2. When I use the Image Capture app to transfer pictures and videos from my devices to OS X it works great with the exception of one problem. Every file that it copies over ends up with permissions of:
(Me): Read & Write
everyone: No Access
This is problematic because when my wife is logged into her profile or anyone else tries to view these files via shared folders, they can't see them. I'm putting them into a folder I created on "Macintosh HD". The folder that they are in has permission of:
(Me): Read & Write
wheel: Read only
everyone: Read only
Each time I import I suppose I could drop into Terminal and run a command to fix the issues but there must be a better way.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Got a solution using Automator.
Create a workflow like:
This is an Image Capture Plugin. When you open Automator select Image Capture as the type of workflow and select these two actions.
Copy Finder Items will take the image from Image Capture and copy to your disk. Select the folder you want the image to go to in the To: pulldown. You should select the /Users/Shared folder and any subfolder you wish. I made a folder named Images.
In the second action make sure Pass Input: is set to as arguments and then add the chmod 644
Then exit Automator giving the workflow a name. In Image Capture you should see the workflow you just created
in the Import To: pulldown. Select it. Now when you import the fiels wil be copied to the folder you specified and the permissions will be set to 644 rw for you r for everyone else.
good luck. post back if you have any questions.
(and this is in the Lion list so my question about Aperture above is meaningless! )

Set default directory and file permissions

I'm trying to use setfacl to set the default permissions for directories and files but I get an error saying "sudo: setfacl: command not found." What I am trying to do is share a specific directory on a local external drive connected by Thunderbolt. Everyone in the group has access to the drive and can view all the files but once a new file is created, the group permissions are not updated. Here is an example of two PDF file. The one created by userA only has permissions for that user where the file created by userB allows all users to open and modity the file.
-rw------- 1 userA staff 1988176 Feb 13 15:09 TestFile01.pdf
-rwxr-----+ 1 userB staff 1827102 Feb 13 15:05 TestFile02.pdf
0: group:MarketingGroup allow read,write,append,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity
I can manually update the permissions through the Get Info window but this requires me to reset permissions every time a person saves a new file to the drive. There needs to be a way to do this automatically.
Here is what I tried but the setfacl command is not supported.
sudo setfacl -Rdm g:GroupName:rwx /DirectoryPath

Thanks Frank. I have an externat drive connected to my Mac via Thunderbolt. On this drive I have a specific directory that I'm shairing with Mac and PC users. I've created a group on the network to limit access to this directory to specific users. That works perfectly. The issue I'm having is when one of these users creates a new file in this directory or any of it's subdirectories, no one has permission to open or edit the file. Right now I'm using Get Info to modify the permissions of the folder and all enclosed items. When I check the permissions of the files I've "corrected" I notice this extra imformation "0: group:MarketingGroup allow read,write,append,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity." This is not included when I check the permissions of items saved by other uses in the group.
So my question is how do I set the default permissions for this directory so every new file and directory will have the correct permissions to allow anyone in this group full access to open and modify every file?
Thanks for your help!!!!

BranchCache - multiple domains and file permissions

I have been researching BranchCache and looking into its feasibility given my requirements and constraints.
I am considering replacing servers in branch offices with a single BranchCache server [per branch] in 'hosted' mode.
1. It has been suggested that each hosting server can only host files from content servers in the same domain as the caching/hosting server. Is this correct? For jurisdictional purposes, we have a 'shared, global' forest but also 'local, jurisdictional'
forests. Each branch needs to access data which resides in either/several/all of these forests.
2. A simpler but related question - how are file permissions adhered to? Are the NTFS perms simply included as metadata? How does the hosting server authorise the requesting client access to the file at the point of request? Does the content server provide
the authorisation instead and hence client and content server must be in the same domain?
I'm keen to pursue this technology further but suspect it has limitations which mean it is not feasible within my environment.
Thanks,
neil
Neil Ruston

Hi Neil -
I forwarded your questions to the BranchCache team, and this is their response:
"All of the entities in the BranchCache system can be on different domains and BranchCache will work just fine. It’s ok to have content servers and hosted cache servers on different domains or on no domain at all. The client and server
just need to be able to communicate to get BranchCache working.
"As far as permissions go, clients in the branch office need to be able to download hashes from the remote file/web server to use BranchCache. The file or web server authenticates and authorizes the client using whatever means it would if BranchCache
were not in the picture. Once the client is granted permission, it can retrieve the hashes and pull from the local cache. Permissions are not embedded in the hashes. Ownership of the hashes is all a client needs to download from the cache.
Hashes are a substitute for content and are kept secure the same way content is."
Thanks -

Shell script, automator and file permissions

We have an environment where, that when a user creates a folder on a network vol, it is owned by them and no one else has access to it. They then place a folder structure from there local HD into that folder they just created on the server. You would think a simple get info window with the user changing the permissions to include all would actually change all the file permissions in the enclosed folder, but it doesn't. I have a simple script written in automator using /bin/bash that is supposed to change the permissions in every folder and file to rw for all (user, group and everyone). It doesn't seem to be working correctly all the time for a few users.
for f in "$@"
do
chmod -R 777 "$f"
done
I have tried this as well
for f in "$@"
do
chmod -R a+rw "$f"
done
But that should be pretty much the same thing.
Something i have noticed is the users with the most problem are running 10.4.11, while the script was written in 10.5. Also the users that are having the problem dont seem to have the same get info window as the rest of the 10.4.11 users, it very closely resembles 10.5, with some minor differences. It seems they are missing the groups or something. This might be more or less than an issue than I realize.
http://picasaweb.google.com/tiemmothi/UserPermissions?feat=directlink
the 10.4 window in question is "the offender" and
"Mine" is 10.5

*Access Control List* entries are in addition to the regular POSIX permissions. They are not required, but add finer levels of access control. Setting the regular permissions to read/write for everyone should work unless there are ACL entries which allow additional access - you can see ACL entries and extended attributes with/bin/ls -le@d /path/to/some/folder
An inherited ACL entry to allow everyone read/write access would look something likechmod -R +a "everyone allow list,addfile,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,chown,file_inherit,directoryinherit" /path/to/some/folderA users */Public/Drop Box* folder has similar entries.

DFS Replication and File permissions

Before the problem here is a simple description of my setup
Two File servers, Each have a folder in D: that is setup to replicate using Replication Group via DFS.
All files/folders are replicated perfectly from server A to Server B. When folder/files permissions are checked on both Server A and B they are also perfectly replicated.
Here is the problem.
We have a user User1 who is given modify/read/write permissions on a folder Folder1 on Server A. Folder1 replicates perfectly on Server B and all permissions are also replicated and can be seen on Folder1 in Server B.
When User1 opens file share on Server A he has his assigned permissions to work ok. But when he opens the file share from Server B he is unable to Modify Read or write anything inside Folder1.
At present End users are instructed to use Server A to use the file shares, which are then replicated to Server B as a backup.
Please help.
Also share permissions are also same on both servers.

So User1 cannot edit files on ServerB while both NTFS permissions and Share permissions are the same on serverA and serverB? Please recheck both permissions specifically if any user group included with denied permission.
A possible workaround is to create a new folder on ServerB, move files from the old folder into it, delete the old folder and rename the new folder to the old name. Then connect as DFS target to replace the old one to see if issue still exists.

Copy usernames and file permissions from old workgroup to new Active Directory

Hi,
I have a Windows Server 2003 R2 with about 60 users, 100 shared folders and 5000 subfolders. Each folder has share and protection permissions. Each subfolder has protection permissions. No active directory.
I need to install Windows Server 2012 R2 (as Primary Domain Controller) and re-create
the same users (which can have different guid but with the same username as the old server)
the same shared folders, with the same permission as the old server granted to the users
the same subfolders, with the same permission as the old server granted to the users
all under Active Directory.
Is there a way to automate these steps?
Thanks!

Look in script repository for scripts that export local users and groups.
You will have to learn how these two systems work and develop a script / method for translating between the two systems. It is very dependent on what has been don on old system. Using USMT and MDT would be the best.
Post in the deployment forum for instructions on how to use the MDT to migrate users in a batch. You would start by adding the 2003 server to the 2012 domain and then the MDT can be customized to do the move.

[Solved] Problem with file permissions for a group

I'm working on a simple Apache HTTP server just to get a small education in proper unix work.
To save myself sudoing everything (and generally because it seems the proper way to use unix), I'm trying to give my user control over the /srv directory. So I ran:
- `sudo groupadd srvadmin` to create a group called srvadmin
- `sudo chown -R :srvadmin /srv` to change the group-owner of /srv to srvadmin (and all files inside it)
- `sudo chmod -vR g+w /srv` to give /srv and all its files group write permission
- `sudo gpasswd -a <me> srvadmin` to add my user to the srvadmin group
But I still can't create or edit files in /srv
"ls -l / | grep srv" gives:
drwxrwxr-x 4 root srvadmin 4096 Dec 19 17:44 srv
all the files and directories inside /srv also have group write permissions and are owned by user "root" and group "srvadmin"
"cat /etc/group | grep srv" gives:
srvadmin:x:1000:<me>
However, possibly herein lies a clue:
"id" gives:
uid=1000(<me>) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),7(lp),10(wheel),50(games),91(video),92(audio),93(optical),95(storage),96(scanner),98(power)
That is, "id" doesn't tell me I'm in the srvadmin group.
It seems like there's an important concept about groups and permissions that I'm not getting, but reading several man and wiki pages hasn't enlightened me. Could anyone suggest what I'm missing?
Thanks.

Ok, this is pretty embarrassing given the parallels with the topic of this thread, but I coudn't edit the title (which is the reason for my earlier remark; I assumed I didn't have permission)!
The text box was un-editable (not "disabled", I just couldn't edit the text in it). I managed to change it in the end by deleting all the text and typing a new title. I think it may have been just because the title was at the exact character limit.

Time Machine and File Permissions

'Twere I to rate this question's technicality on a scale of 1 through 10, it would rate 8. Just warning you. Unix people will be especially useful for this.
Okay, so, before the problems started, my hard drive had three partitions. One for OS X, one for file storage for Ubuntu Linux, and one called the "Swap" partition, which somehow relates to Ubuntu (the Ubuntu installer put it there, I've no idea what it's for). Here's a makeshift diagram of what my partition map used to be:
I ran out of space in my OS X partition. You see, I've recently had the fortune to obtain some rather fantastic software. The downside is that the software (and it's files) take up roughly 53GB. I won't trouble with you what it actually is (though it should have dawned on some people by now). Between OS X and Ubuntu Linux, OS X prevailed. As far as I'm concerned, Linux will have to wait 'till I have a larger hard drive.
So, I fired up Disk Utility, and tried to remove the two Linux partitions. It told me it was "Preparing to erase [insert Linux partition name]". It told me that for an hour. After one hour, I said screw it, I'll do this the "hard" way.
My initial plan was to back up my data, and completely reformat my drive, reinstall Leopard, and have it restore from my Time Machine backup. Now, my external drive is not big enough to hold a complete system-wide backup. I had to leave some stuff out. Here's the list of exclusions, taken directly from the back up logs:
Excluding System files: 16.3 GB (242143 items)
Excluding /Developer: 0 bytes (1 items)
Excluding /Users/Audacitor/Downloads: 7.9 GB (18 items)
Excluding /Applications/Creative Suite 3: 3.2 GB (13214 items)
Excluding /Applications/Disk Images/Macromedia: 240.5 MB (4 items)
Excluding /Applications/Utilities: 484.2 MB (111 items)
Excluding /Users/Audacitor/.Trash: 97.3 MB (2142 items)
Excluding /System: 108.2 MB (5874 items)
Excluding /Users/Audacitor/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache: 144 KB (1 items)
Excluding /Users/Audacitor/Library/Safari/WebpageIcons.db: 52 KB (1 items)
Excluding /Users/Audacitor/Library/Mail/Envelope Index: 680 KB (1 items)
Excluding /Users/Audacitor/Library/Icons/WebpageIcons.db: 20 KB (1 items)
I am uncertain as to why it excluded those last four entries. I didn't ask them to be excluded, so I assumed that was something Time Machine does automatically.
The backup worked normally, or so it seemed. After about a half hour, it told me it was done. I hastily (read; stupidly) unplugged the drive and prepared to reformat my drive. So excited was I to reach my new software, that I made the utter and completely foolish move of not double checking that everything I needed was backed up. If I had, I might never have this problem, and even if this problem were destined to happen, I could have at least saved my Pictures folder (fortunately, most of it's contents are safely residing on my iPod).
So, I wiped my drive. Specifically, I booted into my Leopard Install DVD, and went for the Erase and Install option. The install commenced and finished without a hitch. I brought my "new" computer up, enjoyed the theatrics of the intro movie and started running through the setup. I came to the step where it asks if I want to transfer files from another Mac, from another volume on my Mac, from a Time Machine backup, or not at all. I of course clicked for a Time Machine back up. The first sign of trouble was that my backup didn't show up (despite having my external plugged in). I felt a pang of fear, but it didn't worry me too much, and I thought to myself that I'd just use Migration Assistant later on (the Leopard setup sequence specifically stated I could do this if I so wished).
So I went straight to my desktop and fired up Migration Assistant, and went through the steps till it asked me to select a Time Machine backup. But there were none to select from. I waited a full minute, my fear growing steadily to terror. Finally, I realized that my data was gone, and flipped out. My inner geek, which was screaming at me to calm down and look inside my external, was shackled and thrown into a tiny corner of my now completely panicked mind. This lasted for roughly two minutes. After regaining myself, and opened my external. It contained one folder named Backups.backupdb. I opened it, and inside I found Neomiranda (Neomiranda is the name I gave my computer). So far so good. Inside the folder of Neomiranda, I found 2008-02-20-060526.inProgress. Another 30 seconds of flipping out over the idea of .inProgress. After awhile, I had the sense to right click on it, and hit the "Show Package Contents" option.
Inside were three folders, with three corresponding log files. I quickly realized that each one was a backup. The first two were empty, which I anticipated. Those were my two attempts while figuring out what to exclude, so I could get a backup to fit on my external. The third contained another Neomiranda folder, which contained all my data. Everything except my Pictures folder was there.
So, I went back and forth, manually restoring my data. When I'd finished, I started up a few apps to check that everything worked. Not everything worked. Mail wouldn't even get a bounce from the dock, Firefox told me there was a copy of itself already running, and iTunes complained that I had either a locked disk or insufficient permissions. Acting on iTunes' advice, I set out comparing the permissions of various folders I'd copied to the permissions of their equivalents on another, fully functional, system. Everything checked out. Nothing was locked, and everything had the correct permissions. I fired up Disk Utility and had it a run a permissions repair. It spat out a great deal of stuff that it apparently found wrong, and apparently fixed, but ultimately, it had no effect.
I cannot find anything wrong with any permissions, but I've got a feeling that's where the problem is. Why? Because any time I want to do anything to a folder I've copied, or anything inside a folder I've copied, it wants my admin password. Despite no apparent differences in permissions between folders I don't need a password for and between folders I do need a password for, I need a password for folders I have copied from my backup.
I've not looked into file ownership, as I couldn't find a way to even find out who a file belongs to, much less actually change ownership to anything. If I end having to use chown at a bash, fine with me, but I'm not a Unix man. I'll still need help with it (though I do know how to use the man command).

Same problem and for months now. I haven't been able to find a solution, but I suspect that's because I don't know exactly what's wrong.

[SOLVED] ssh/sshfs file permissions messed up on remote virtual server

Hello,
i am quite ok with linux these days, but all things network are still hard to grasp...
here's the problem:
recently i got some space on a friends virtual server (ubuntu 10.04).
i started playing around there, mostly connecting with sshfs.
then i ran into the problem that some files can't be deleted although i'm the one who copied them over.
we figured out it's about user and group id's and my friend gave me group write permissions:
chmod -R w+g /home/<myuser>
i am quoting him here. nb, he's a web developer but not a linux user.
however, it has happened again (can't delete some files) and before asking him for help i'd like to figure out what is actually going on.
and maybe i can fix it myself.
i am logging into my serverspace manually as user.
here's my ~/.ssh/config:
Host <me>
HostName <host.com>
Port <nnnnn>
User <me>
Compression yes
AddressFamily inet
i am still entering the password every time since i have not yet figured out how to get the keys working.
here's how i start sshfs:
sshfs -C -o idmap=user -o uid=<nnnn> -o gid=<nnn> -o sshfs_debug -o follow_symlinks -p <nnnnn> <me>@<host.com>:/home/<me> /home/<somedir>
there's been many changes to that line, esp. the idmap, uid and gid options.
now if i make a long ls on the remote machine:
~$ ll
total 32
drwxrwsr-t 3 <me> www-data 4096 Nov 23 09:42 ./
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Oct 29 04:21 ../

lrwxrwxrwx 1 <me> www-data 29 Oct 25 08:18 webroot -> /<...>/<host.com>//
looks messy to me.
and on the webroot:
~/webroot$ ll

drwxrwxrwx 30 www-data www-data 4096 Oct 25 08:17 ../

-rwxrwxr-x 1 www-data www-data 1921 Oct 31 08:16 stylesheet-audim.css*
i can't delete the files and fonts-audim folders although i myself created them.
Q:
- How can i set up ssh/sshfs to avoid something like this happening ever again?
- Can i delete these files myself or do i have to ask my friend?
thanks in advance.
ps: everything between < > i have hidden in this thread, real values are used in the configs/commands.

I'm guessing someone else put some stuff in there which you are not allowed to remove, leading to your problem.
no, i created everything in the webroot folder except for index.html and the adminer dir.
I suspect this has something to do with my previous invoking sshfs without the idmap option (or a wrong one) or my friend's activities to help me access my files.
...try renaming a folder to see if that works.
no problem there.
however, renaming the zipfile inside the folder:
$ mv abc.zip bca.zip
mv: cannot move `abc.zip' to `bca.zip': Permission denied
Also; from your output it seems files & fonts-audim is created by www-data, not you?
my friend, rentee of the virtual server, says it's normal that i am not the owner of the webroot dir (which is just a symlink to some dir in /var/.....)
but still...

Directory and file permissions in Oracle EBS R12.2.4

Hi there
I beleive that a typical R12.2.4 Linux x86-64 based environment has following directory structure under the installation directory (/u01/oracle/<SID>)
11.2.0 data fs1 fs2 fs_ne
So my question here is what should be the permission level of these directories (and their subdirectories) and the files underneath them. I am looking for permissions for both Database Tier and Application Tier directories and associated files. Is there a published Oracle Support document for this?
Regards
Kabeer

But by memory I recall that the files underneath the DB and Apps Tier's directories were having lesser permissions. And that's where I was asking to make sure.
The list of files/directories with the permissions are not documented and the only way to revert back to the original values which are set by Rapid Install is re-running the installation again.
If this instance is used for practice only you may keep permissions the way they are now as long as the application/database work with no issues.
Thanks,
Hussein

Power shell script to list all files and folder permissions recursively

Hi All,
I am looking for a powershell script to perform the following operations.
1) To list the folder and file permissions(Allow,Deny both) recursively in a given folder.
2) List out all the files and folders which are having the deny permission or having only the read access (or) only the write access. Basically the folder should have Read,Execute,Write permissions. Else we have to flag that file/folder name.
I had written a batch script for the same which does this task using icacls.exe output, but this script takes lot of time to recursively parse all the files ( ~1 lakh files).
Please help me with the powershell script for the same.
Thanks
Sambasiva

Try this module: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/PowerShellAccessControl-d3be7b83
After importing the module, you can run something like this:
dir c:\folder -recurse | Get-AccessControlEntry
That output can be exported to a CSV for later viewing. You can also provide some parameters to Get-AccessControlEntry to limit the results:
dir c:\folder -recurse | Get-AccessControlEntry -FileRights Write
dir c:\folder -recurse | Get-AccessControlEntry -AceType AccessDenied
dir c:\folder -recurse | Get-AccessControlEntry -AceType AccessAllowed -FileRights Write

Solved - How to take ownership and change permissions for blocked files and folders in Powershell

Hello,
I was trying to take ownership & fix permissions on Home Folder/My Documents structures, I ran into the common problem in PowerShell where Set-Acl & Get-Acl return access denied errors. The error occurs because the Administrators have been removed from
file permissions and do not have ownership of the files,folders/directories. (Assuming all other permissions like SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege have been enabled.
I was not able to find any information about someone successfully using native PS to resolve the issue. As I was able to solve the issues surrounding Get-Acl & Set-Acl, I wanted to share the result for those still looking for an answer.
Question: How do you use only Powershell take ownership and reset permissions for files or folders you do not have permissions or ownership of?
Problem:
Using the default function calls to the object fail for a folder that the administrative account does not have permissions or file ownership. You get the following error for Get-Acl:
PS C:\> Get-Acl -path F:\testpath\locked
Get-Acl : Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.

If you create a new ACL and attempt to apply it using Set-Acl, you get:
PS C:\> Set-Acl -path F:\testpath\locked -AclObject $DirAcl
Set-Acl : Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.
At line:1 char:8

+ CategoryInfo : PermissionDenied: (F:\testpath\locked:String) [Set-Acl], UnauthorizedAccessException

Use of other functions like .GetAccessControl will result in a similar error: "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation."
How do you replace owner on all subcontainers and objects in Powershell with resorting to external applications like takeown, icacls, Windows Explorer GUI, etc.?

Hello,
Last, here is the script I used to reset permissions on the "My Documents" tree structure that admins did not have access to:
Example: Powershell script to parse a directory of User-owned "My Document" redirection folders and reset permissions.

Set-Privilege (new-object Pscx.Interop.TokenPrivilege "SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege", $true) #Necessary to override FilePermissions & take Ownership

Final Thought: There are great non-PS tools like
Set-Acl and takeown which are external to PS & can also do the job wonderfully. It may be much simpler to call those tools than recreate the wheel in pure
code. Feel free to use whatever best suits your time, scope & cost.

[solved] vsftpd: Uploaded files are with permissions -rw-------.?

Hello,
I have a problem with the ftp server(vsftpd).The new files are saved with permissions 600 (rw ----). So apache server can't show them. Ftp access is configured with my local user and this home is in /srv/http.
The trouble is the user config access...

solved:
acording to
Q) Help! Uploaded files are appearing with permissions -rw-------.
A1) Depending on if this is an upload by a local user or an anonymous user,
use "local_umask" or "anon_umask" to change this. For example, use
"anon_umask=022" to give anonymously uploaded files permissions
-rw-r--r--. Note that the "0" before the "22" is important.
A2) Also see the vsftpd.conf.5 man page for the new "file_open_mode"
parameter.

Thanks for the link, unfortunately p7zip-extra didn't add anything to the context-menu. Will continue searching, since I liked the 7zip menu. Anyways - my main problem is now solved - shouldn't be a big problem to manually add that menu back again.
Edit: For future readers - just got back the context-menu entries by re-installing following:
pacman -S p7zip desktop-file-utils wxgtk
