Hi,
My fstab looks as follows:
Code:

/dev/hda2      /            reiser4      exec,rw,suid,async      0 1
/dev/hda1      /boot            ext2      exec,rw,user,suid,async      0 2
/dev/hda6      /root            ext3      exec,rw,user,suid,async      0 2
/dev/hda5      none            swap      sw            0 0
none         /proc            proc      defaults         0 0
none         /dev/shm         tmpfs      defaults         0 0
none         /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc   binfmt_misc   defaults         0 0
/dev/cdrom      /mnt/cdrom         auto      defaults,ro,noauto      0 0

Well, there's the problem that when /boot and /root are mounted at start-up, they are mounted non-executable. To run anything from them, I need to do, say, mount /root -o remount,exec
What do I need to change in fstab to resolve the issue?

I myself use much simpler setups for these partitions - defaults mostly - and they work as expected:

Code:
/dev/hda1               /boot           ext2            noauto,noatime  1 1
/dev/hda4               /               ext3            noatime         0 0

Alright, so I'm reading the manual of both fstab and mount, and something is very wrong. Using this as fstab:
Code:

/dev/hda2      /            reiser4      defaults,noatime,user,rw   0 1
/dev/hda1      /boot            ext2      defaults,noatime,user,rw   0 2
/dev/hda6      /root            ext3      defaults,noatime,user,rw   0 2
/dev/hda5      none            swap      sw            0 0
none         /proc            proc      defaults         0 0
none         /dev/shm         tmpfs      defaults         0 0
none         /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc   binfmt_misc   defaults         0 0
/dev/cdrom      /mnt/cdrom         auto      defaults,ro,noauto,user      0 0

Now the system won't even boot. From what I can make out from the messages, it seems to have a problem with the root partition. Every executable says it has no permission to run. It might be mounting / read-only, but I'm not sure about that.
I'll try removing "user" from / and see what happens.

Yes, removing "user" from all entries (except the cdrom) did it. Now my execution permission problem has been solved too :)

BTW, does "noatime" only prevent access times from being written, or modification times as well?
