Unable to execute from USB Drive (FC2)

[Mike McCarty]

I'll try again with a shorter message.

I'm having problems executing programs from a mounted USB drive.

I mount /dev/sda1 to /dev/usb and create some directories
over there. All paths have execute access all the way down
When I try to execute a program built on the USB drive, I get
"bash: /mnt/usb/jmccarty/hello: Permission denied".

Is this because it is a "removable medium"? I just checked, and
I get the same error from a floppy.

Earlier I wrote

 >So why is permission denied? It's not just that it's removable
 >medium. So is the floppy, but I can execute from there.

I must have been thinking about from my DOSEMU (which can and
does execute DOS images from both floppy and USB drives).

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
