mount(8) notes that user implies noexec, nosuid, and nodev. You'll need to add 'exec' to the list of options there. (Also, rw is the default anyway, and you only need to explicitly mention defaults if there are no other options.) However, I don't think you should be mounting that partition as a user; for a start, if you don't mount it at boot-time you'll have an empty home directory. You are mounting it at boot-time above (though the last field should be 2, not 1, when it's not the root directory), so there's no need for the user option anyway. System partitions (like /usr/local and /usr/share, which you also mentioned) should definitely not be mounted as a user. The main use for that option is probably removable drives like floppies and CD-ROMs. In summary: /dev/hda8 /home/js ext2 defaults 0 2 -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
