I have an External USB HD, the filesystem I use is ext3 and my kernel is gentoo 2.6.

The problem is that I'm not able to execute a program from the external drive; the same program that I correctly execute from the internal drive.

How can I do for solving my problem? I have to execute a binary file from external drive.

Thanks for help!!

Do you have execution rights on the binary?

What error do you get?

Check that the partition is not mounted noexec.

Seconded. Check in /etc/fstab if it is getting mounted with "noexec". Also, just do "mount" and see if it has the "noexec" option.
