[solved] udevil: mount drive with exec permission for Steam?

Hi. I was going to create a Steam directory on my USB harddisk and checked this wiki entry. But I still keeps getting error from Steam that it requires a filesystem with execute permission.

Then I mount my disk again by

udevil mount /dev/sdb1 --mount-options "exec"

But checking mount it shows exec is still not in the options.

/dev/sdb1 on /media/WD_1 type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096)

So how can I mount the drive with execute permission with udevil?

Assuming your USB drive is formatted with NTFS, change the default mount options in /etc/udevil/udevil.conf.
