Actually, it turns out this option is only available for FAT filesystems,
not ext{2,3}.  So does anyone know if there is anyway to set system-wide
or mountpoint-wide umask?

/etc/login.defs has a line to define the default UMASK, but changing that
had no effect on my system, even after logging in and out.
