EFI Mount Options & Calamares Configuration

I discovered something awry in the way the Calamares mount configuration applies to the EFI system partition during install if using the default settings in the example mount.conf file. Left alone, the EFI system partition is not given the specified mount options since the filesystem type specified in the mount.conf file does not use an actual filesystem. When the configuration file is edited with the actual filesystem of vfat, the EFI system partition is given the correct mount options.

I do not think the effect is harmful, merely unexpected. Adding the umask=0077 mount option after install is certainly one way to handle the situation for those of you with an installed system. I may update the Ezarcher ISOs soon. Stay tuned... :-)
