Permission Denied.. but why?

[Wikt]

I have a weird problem trying to use files from a mounted directory. When I try to run a binary file on my disk /mnt/cooldisk I get THIS:

Code: Select all

bash-2.05b# ./calc
bash: ./calc: Permission denied

entry in fstab is:

Code: Select all

/dev/hda11              /mnt/cooldisk   ext3            auto,user               0 0

I get Permission denied for every script/binary I try to open. So I only may store stuff in it. What is wrong?

I guess you don't have x permission on calc.
What does ls -l calc say?

[rewt]

Is calc executable? What does

Code: Select all

ls-l calc

say?

[Wikt]

It can't be a problem with these kinda permissions. A full check I did:

Code: Select all

bash-2.05b$ ls -l
total 131376

not sure, but you should maybe add the "exec" option to your fstab entry
