Sorry, no, I should have been clearer.
Man, so much confusion in this thread. All are mixed in usage:
partition, mount point, filesystem, mount options, etc. Aren't they
different anymore? I was reading about wx_ stuff since I will install
a new snapshots, but this thread is too damn unclear.
Sorry.
I think it's quite clear. If you want run programs that violate W^X
protection, for instance some programs from ports might have problems
with W^X,
then you have to mount the filesystem under which the program exists
with wxallowed.
Since ports are installed in /usr/local you have options like:
a) if you have a separate /usr/local then you mount /usr/local with
wxallowed option
b) if you have only /usr then you have to mount /usr with wxallowed option
c) or create a new /usr/local filesystem, move old /usr/local (from
/usr filesystem) there and mount that with wxallowed
If you install a new system, then recommended to create a separate
/usr/local from start...
