Some time back, it became impossible to execute files stored on the
thumb drive. I found I could get it to work if it was mounted within
the users home directory. Since the last round of updates that has
become broken as well.
I presume the culprit is something in eudev/udisks/polkit/elogind
(this is an openrc system)
Can someone point me to a guide on how to set up executing files from
a usb thumb drive on gentoo?
Thanks,

Mind if I'm nosy for a minute. I'd like to store files on a USB stick
that are encrypted as well. However, I'd like it to be able to work no
matter what OS is used. I googled but thought it was not possible. You
seem to have found a way to do this, broken at the moment but there's hope.
Would you share what you are using? Links maybe??
Thanks.

Look at http://www.withopf.com/tools/securstick/.
Its mounted as a webdav share. It does limit the windows side to files
~35mb or so ( an MS limitation)
The windows side is seamless, linux is clunky
You put a linux and windows executable on the thumb drive and execute
the one needed - a login screen appears within your browser.
I just found that exec with the home directory still works ... but only
if in a terminal, cant click on it using a file manager.
