I can't exec a bash script in a pendrive

i use gnome, the pendrive automount ok, but i can't exec bash scripts inside the pendrive

but if i mount the pendrive in the old way (in cli) with

mount -t vfat -o umask=000 /dev/sdb1 /media/pendrive/

works perfect

how to make gnome automatically mount with the option umask=000 ??

Re: I can't exec a bash script in a pendrive

The problem might not be the umask.
When you mount under gnome, is the drive being mounted with the noexec flag?

If GVFS is used, then the flag is "showexec":

showexec
              If  set, the execute permission bits of the file will be allowed
              only if the extension part of the name is .EXE, .COM,  or  .BAT.
              Not set by default.

@dunkles: If you mount your usb as /media/xxx, then instead of doing /media/xxx/script.sh, do

bash /media/xxx/script.sh

@dunkles: If you mount your usb as /media/xxx, then instead of doing /media/xxx/script.sh, do

bash /media/xxx/script.sh

works, but if the script have a reference to another script or executable say "permision denied"

and edit a lot of scripts adding the "bash" before it's not the best
