Re: [kde-linux] Mounting with exec flag

Regardless of which order I plug them in, KDE mounts them in

And I can copy a shell script to both devices and then execute
that script, but then they are both seen by the system as
fat32, so I dont think thats a good test.

So I plugged in another external drive that is usb2, and which
has a reiserfs partition on it. I copied my shell script there
and executed it just fine. This drive enclosure has both firewire
and usb, and I tried with both and it works with both.

Each time I plug it in it is assigned the next available /dev/sdX1
and is mounted in /media always under the same name regardless
of order of connection.

And all are mounted executable.

So it seems we are back to your original question, how to mount
them so you can exec from them, and why does it work
for me, but not for you.


Were you able to find anything on this? It's really not working with
any of my USB devices. Do you think it is a KDE config problem of a
UDEV config problem [if KDE uses UDEV info to mount devices) (I use
Gentoo Linux)?
