What the FMActually, I don't think it's the fine manual's fault at all. Mount is mount, permissions are permissions.
needed was a line saying that in order to run a file it has to have
execute permissions *and be on a device mounted with the exec flag*.
What I think should happen is that, when a partition is mounted "noexec", it should do just that - no exec. Even if the filesystem itself has the x flag on, it should not appear to be on.
Had that been the situation: Try to run the program Get "permission denied". Do "ls" - see "-rw-rw-r--". Do "chmod a+x a.out". Try to run the program. Get "permission denied" again. Do "ls" - see "-rw-rw-r--". Realize that something is preventing the "x" flag from being set. Remeber "noexec" mount option.
