The 'exec' mount option is of course supported. In fact it's the default NTFS-3G option. There are over 80 NTFS-3G mount options. These are NTFS- 3G, FUSE user space, FUSE kernel driver and kernel VFS related. The NTFS-3G man page documents only the NTFS-3G specific mount options, none of the other ones like, 'exec'.
The supported mount options always depend on the NTFS-3G version, the FUSE user space version, FUSE kernel module version and the kernel version. But users should never neet to know more then perhaps some of the NTFS-3G specific one and the general kernel options (uid, gid, exec, suid, etc). Please also not blame NTFS-3G for the current problem. It is HAL. We tried hard to push for a trivial and transparent solution but the HAL maintainer decided to make life much harder for everybody: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2008-October/012366.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2008-October/012368.html Notice, how I predicted that the HAL changes will break many distributions: "See e.g. Danny's recent reverted patch. The next HAL release will break at least all Ubuntu and Fedora based distros (about 12 million users) not being able to automount NTFS. Again." HAL is historically a highly unreliable and confusing solution. Afaik, much better alternatives are being worked on. Btw, the latest NTFS-3G release (2009.1.1) has built-in, transparent UTF-8 support and the locale= option is ignored for filename conversion. The locale= option didn't work in many cases eve if it was correctly passed to NTFS-3G (and that is a glibc problem but that's another very long story). -- ntfs-3g doesn't support "exec" option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/320192 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
