Can anyone provide any good reason for leaving the executable bits on FAT and
NTFS partitions?
It just makes people annoyed, especially new users coming from Windows and
wanting to read something from their Windows partition.
If anyone wants to execute scripts from a FAT/NTFS partition then he
Another reason for changing the default umask: Bug #255391 nautilus-

@jamesmcm: yes yes yes!!! you're right, men! I was searching for a bug
covering the problem with this function, and your fix is amazingly
simple! I think that it should be fixed ASAP, because now Nautilus asks
me if I want to execute an .ini file:/ And it doesn't, when I double
click a bash
I think the best fix would be to make nautilus scan files for the
shebang AND have executable permissions before asking. The issue is atm
files copied from NTFS partitions, etc. have all permissions enabled and
so it asks for execution on every file, checking for the #! is much
better behaviour
In the CD-ROM case (bug #353548), the workaround/fix for this is to add
mode=0444 to the following gconf key:
/system/storage/default_options/iso9660/mount_options
This results in all files on CD-ROMs being mounted without the
executable flag set, unless the CD-ROM has Rock-Ridge extensions
Until nautilus can in some other way distinguish between which files
could want to be executed.
surely the sane default for ubuntu to use would be to view executable text
files when they are opened instead of ask each time
this will then be the default for all folders (even if not vfat/ntfs)
If you do that, then *no* files on a VFAT filesystem will be executable,
which I expect a different set of people will find inconvenient.

It would only affect files on external drives, not fixed partitions that
are mounted via fstab. I wouldn't have thought that many normal users
would want to be executing files from external drives -- and if someone
did want to run a script on an external drive they could just use sh

(copied from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/161859):
[In gconf] /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options on a clean
install of gutsy/feisty has umask=0077, which makes all files +x. This
means that files copied from a usb fat drive to the local drive will
have the +x bit set, so
