If not than please direct me to the proper list. With kernel 2.4.9 whenever I mounted a vfat partition the executable bits of the files were not set, as a result in rox-filer I was getting the proper association to the application. But since kernel 2.4.10 onwards the executable bits of all the files in vfat partions are set. Due to this in rox-filer I get all the files as executables and I can not open any file in proper association. Any way to unset the executable bits on vfat partition mounting ? I have got the following in my /etc/fstab : /dev/hda6 /mnt/funstuff vfat defaults,errors=remount-ro,users 0 0 At present I am on kernel 2.4.12 with ext3 patch applied from : ftp://perlsupport.com/pub/linux/kernel/ext3-0.9.12-2.4.12.patch.gz Thanks in advance.
