I'll try again with a shorter message.
I'm having problems executing programs from a mounted USB drive.
I mount /dev/sda1 to /dev/usb and create some directories
over there. All paths have execute access all the way down
When I try to execute a program built on the USB drive, I get
"bash: /mnt/usb/jmccarty/hello: Permission denied".
Is this because it is a "removable medium"? I just checked, and
I get the same error from a floppy.
Yes, very likely. The "user" flag to mount (look in /etc/fstab) implies the
option "noexec". Add the option "exec" and it should work as you
expected.
