Re: Mount encrypted partition with exec

Hello all,

Anyone know how to add the exec flag to an encrypted partition in openSUSE
10.3? I have specified 'exec' as an additional flag in Yast->Parititoner
but it doesn't see to take effect. I currently have to issue a remount
command:
sudo mount -o remount,exec /encrypted

In openSUSE 10.2 I simply added 'exec' to the entry in /etc/cryptotab but
in 10.3 the process has changed. There are two files now /etc/crypttab
and /etc/fstab. I added 'exec' in fstab, but it seems to be ignored.

Thanks


Answering my own post in the hopes this will help someone googling the same
problem.

I have the option 'user' specified in /etc/fstab as the last option and I
put exec before user. According to mount's manpage, user implies noexec,
nosuid and nodev.

So, the solution is to place 'user' as the first option then specify
the 'exec' to override the noexec that user implies.
