NTFS: unable to execute ---: Permission denied

[Mazin]

I have an NTFS partition mounted with

/dev/sdb1       /media/ntfs   ntfs    force,defaults,users,gid=1000,uid=1000,umask=000        0       0

but I cannot execute executables on that partition. I simply get something like,

bash: ./t: Permission denied

How do I fix these permissions?

remove that line from your fstab, add yourself to the fuse group:

sudo adduser <userid> fuse

install ntfs-config:

sudo apt-get install ntfs-config

set the partition to automount in ntfs-config (you'll find it in the menu under System>Administration>NTFS Configuration Tool)

Can you please explain what the difference is? I'd rather just fix my fstab as it is. (I am also already in the fuse group).

Installing ntfs-config will allow you to toggle on and off write support for internal and external drives formated as NTFS.

I already have read/write on the NTFS partition. I cannot, however, execute binaries. I would like to know what error is in my mount statement (if any).

i'm not a fstab wiz, but i think that the gid and uid options pretty much annul the users option.

Thank you Leppie.

I had the same (non)execute permissions surprise as Mazin, having provided users,gid,uid and umask options in the fstab. After removing the superflous users option, the execute permissions started behaving as expected again.

FYI: users and gid/uid options aren't related. One sets the owner/group permissions, the other specifies who's able to mount the drive. Inherent to the 'users' option, however, is the 'noexec' option which prevents execution of files on the partition.

Thank you for the information.
I was going crazy for almost 1 hour, because I wasn't able to execute something on my 2nd partition.
By purging the 'users' option it started to work as expected.

Thx

rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions options in fstab should work...
