I find that I cannot execute world-executable scripts when they are in
a directory which is mounted on a drive on an HBA (host bus adapter
card) in pass-thru mode, but the exact same scripts are executable
when they are in a directory on my boot drive (connected to
motherboard SATA).
Is this a bash bug, or intentional behavior?
The drives connected through the HBA work well for all other purposes
I have tried, except executing scripts. The only oddity I have noticed
is that the identification info stored by the kernel driver
(megaraid_sas) during boot cannot be read by hdparm, although hdparm
has no problem reading the info directly. Apparently, the megaraid_sas
kernel driver is not perfect, but why should this affect bash?
In the output below, the behavior is identical if the first line calls
bash, sh (symlink to bash), or zsh. I left it at zsh (below) to
eliminate ambiguity between the active shell (bash) and the script
shell.
What causes this behavior?
