From where gets pmount the mounting options ? :?:

problem: my homedir is on a separate partition (dev/hda8) of my harddisk and pmount mount that partition with "noexec" ??? and "nodev 0 0" ?
(i want to execute some files in my home dir

)

here is my /etc/mtab:

/dev/hda7 / ext3 rw,noatime 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
udev /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
/dev/hda6 /boot ext2 rw,noatime 0 0
/dev/hda8 /home/mario ext3 rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime 0 0 <------ !!!!!! :!:

/dev/hda5 /mnt/share vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,umask=000 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
capifs /dev/capi capifs rw 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw,devmode=0664,devgid=85 0 0

here is my fstab :

/dev/hda6 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/hda7 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/hda8 /home/mario ext3 noatime,users,rw 0 1
/dev/hda9 none swap sw 0 0
#/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
#/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/share vfat noatime,users,rw,umask=000 0 0
#/dev/ipod /mnt/ipod vfat sync,nodev,nosuid,user,rw,noauto 0 0
#/dev/extern /mnt/extern vfat nodev,nosuid,user,rw,noauto 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
capifs /dev/capi capifs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

please help me, i'am totally confused about this pmount and automounting things.

pmount isn't used to mount that partition. Just add the options you want to your /etc/fstab file.

Sure, home partition shouldn't be mounted through pmount, but that's indeed an interesting question. How can I tell pmount about the options I want to add to a specific entry? Should I use hal configuration files or there is an obscure config file for pmount (or maybe udev)?

Right, but what about entries which does not exists in fstab? Where do I set an entry's options?

I don't know, but
Can you be more specific, If its a static device, then it should be in fstab.
If its not, what kind of option does it have that you need (having trouble understanding).
