boob00 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hello everyone, I seem to be having bad luck with flashdrives. Up until about a month ago, i have had little scripts i made on my flashdrive and would run them from it. But now, i have no execute permission on my flashdrives. Not just one, but any flash drive i plug into any of my computers all 3 running linux, i have no execute permission. I can read and write. I have tried with about 20 different flash drives in all 3 computers but no luck. I have tried reformatting multiple drives multiple times. Even after a chmod 777 i still get permission denied when i try to execute anything. Help is needed!!! Thanks -boob00 P.S. Merry Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 To have +x permissions, the flash drive needs to be formatted ext and not FAT. I'm assuming you have it formatted to FAT. Best regards, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boob00 Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 It was FAT, i reformatted it to EXT4 and it works, thanks Seb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
