Hi all, Just wanted to mention a further annoyance:
I have a few scripts rigged up to backup my /home folder to an external hard drive (which is FAT32). I recently did a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10, which I then copied (restored) my files from the external hard drive, and I just recently noticed everything having the +x bit set. I should have done a little more research I suppose on this issue before trusting FAT32 to holding my files. I've created a semi-fix for anyone with a similar problem: $ find . -perm /+x -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod -c -x That command should recursively work with the current directory down and remove the "x" bit from any file, excluding folders. The only dilemma I'm facing now is a way to avoid removing the "+x" bit from legitimate files (executables, scripts, etc) that need it. -- NTFS and FAT partitions mounted with executable bits create lots of annoyance https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78505 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
