fstab and noexec

Hi all,

I have the following in my /etc/fstab file
/dev/sda8 /shared reiserfs user,defaults 0 1. However, mount shows that it is mounted as:

/dev/sda8 on /shared type reiserfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

'man mount' tells a different story though: defaults means exec.

What's wrong?

Re: fstab and noexec

'man mount' says 'user' implies the options "noexec, nosuid, and nodev" unless overriden, so try putting exec in your fstab line.

Re: fstab and noexec

works ok! should've read the man page more carefully. Thanks,
