This mounts the file system with default options. So instead of user,noauto you will have the default options i.e with rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, and async. >From the man page of mount defaults Use default options: rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, and async. and exec Permit execution of binaries. So when defaults is specified it mounts with all the options including the exec options. So exec is the option which you missed. if you had specified exec,noauto,user as the option in the fstab then you would have able to execute the binaries as well. What i tried was give defaults,user as the option in the fstab and it just ignores the defaults, so the exec was not included.. -G.Vinubalaji ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.
