Execution of ELF binaries off NTFS-formatted drive now denied?

[syntaxerror74]

There must have been a change just recently. This has never happened before until I've completed the latest apt-get update/upgrade sequence.

Don't ask me why, but for testing purposes, I had a couple of less-important binaries I didn't want to cram into my Ubuntu drives stored on an NTFS drive for some reason, and once in a blue moon I wanted to launch one of these and just used a symbolic link to it.

Now I ALWAYS get 'Permission denied' whenever I try to launch an ELF binary off said drive.
Not until I manually copy the binary to an ext3/4 partition the binary will execute again.

Is it just me who is constantly getting that "Permission denied" thing now?

what is

ls -lh /path/to/binary

[syntaxerror74]

Dunno what you're on about TBH...

backup2 is partition label of NTFS drive.
the_binary_to_be_executed is meant as a placeholder for a random ELF binary you want to execute.

path is /media/backup2/stuff/linux/the_binary_to_be_executed

[ant2ne]

So in a terminal type

ls -lh /media/backup2/stuff/linux/the_binary_to_be_executed

[syntaxerror74]

All entries are -rwxrwxrwx so octal 777, access for everyone (invariable; as usual with NTFS drives), owner and group = root.

[ant2ne]

does it execute if moved locally?

[syntaxerror74]

Define "locally"...I said once I copy it to a partition with a file system of the ext3, ext4 ... kind, it executes fine.

Copying the binary to another directory within the NTFS partition has no effect. Permission denied.

How is the NTFS partition mounted (what are the mount options)? How are you trying to execute it (from a terminal? double-clicking from a file manager?)

[ant2ne]

Move it to your home directory provided that home is mounted normally and execute it there.

ok, called mount with no parameters and grep'd on my partition, this is the result:

type fuseblk (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)

Nothing in there that could make me worry so far...?

Yes, I am trying to execute it via terminal.
