nautilus wants to execute all text files on a vfat flash drive

NTFS and FAT partitions mounted with executable bits create lots of annoyance
Slackware users seem to have this problem addressed long time ago:
There's no need for normal files to be executable (and it can
indeed be a security risk (*)), so we use fmask
to turn off those permissions.
and proposed solutions, depending on the case, in
Hi all,
Just wanted to mention a further annoyance:
I have a few scripts rigged up to backup my /home folder to an external
hard drive (which is FAT32). I recently did a fresh install of Ubuntu
9.10, which I then copied (restored) my files from the external hard
drive, and I just recently
Just for completeness another annoyance caused by this bug/feature:
- i put a SD-card (vfat) from my digicam in the card-reader
- all pictures get execute-permission because it's vfat
- i copy the pictures to a samba-share of my NAS, permissions get preserved =

Colin all,
the vast majority of stuff on a vfat drive -particularly a usb/flash
removable one - is not executable. Having the X bit set for this data is

of data previously copied to the drive for backup as all the restored

for both .exe and .bin and .run...

In Ubuntu, we intentionally set things up using binfmt-support so that
users don't have to know to explicitly invoke things using wine; they
