All the scripts in my ~/bin have '#!/bin/sh' as the first line, yet the scripts won't run without sh. This problem appeared after I shifted all my personal data to an ntfs partition and made symlinks to them in the home directory. I think I have set the permissions correctly in all the affected folders(774 to directories and files in bin and 664 to all the other files), and added this entry to /etc/fstab:UUID=5BE8B8E020325D09                                 /mnt/DATA       ntfs-3g auto,users,permissions                       0           0That's how the problem looks:saga@terminal:~$ syncit a bbash: /home/saga/bin/syncit: Permission deniedsaga@terminal:~$ sh ~/bin/syncit a b    <works correctly>Any idea what's happening here?output of ls -l:for /mnt/DATA/bin/:-rwxrwxr-- 1 saga 1001   67 Sep 22 23:56 bldcpp-rwxrwxr-- 1 saga 1001   23 Sep 22 23:56 cnl-rwxrwxr-- 1 saga 1001   62 Sep 22 23:57 conct-rwxrwxr-- 1 saga 1001   23 Sep 22 23:57 cx-rwxrwxr-x 1 saga 1001  479 Sep 22 23:44 defperms-rwx------ 1 saga saga    0 Sep 22 23:48 ju-rwxrwxr-- 1 saga 1001   27 Sep 22 23:57 mke-rwxrwxr-- 1 saga 1001   58 Sep 22 01:54 process-rwxrwxr-- 1 saga 1001  329 Sep 22 23:58 ptr-rwxrwxr-- 1 saga 1001 1336 Sep  1 22:48 syncit-rwxrwxr-- 1 saga 1001  639 Sep  8 12:13 vidplacerfor ~/bin:lrwxrwxrwx 1 saga saga 13 Sep 22 04:04 /home/saga/bin -> /mnt/DATA/binoutput of mount:saga@terminal:~$ mountsysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)udev on /dev type devtmpfs       (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=1963732k,nr_inodes=490933,mode=755)devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000)tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,size=396576k,mode=755)none on /dev/.bootchart/proc type proc (rw,relatime)/dev/mapper/terminal--vg-root on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered)securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)tmpfs on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=5120k)tmpfs on /sys/fs/cgroup type tmpfs (rw,mode=755)cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,xattr,release_agent=/lib/systemd/systemd-cgroups-agent,name=systemd)pstore on /sys/fs/pstore type pstore (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)efivarfs on /sys/firmware/efi/efivars type efivarfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,perf_event,release_agent=/run/cgmanager/agents/cgm-release-agent.perf_event)cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/hugetlb type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,hugetlb,release_agent=/run/cgmanager/agents/cgm-release-agent.hugetlb)cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,blkio)cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,cpu,cpuacct)cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls,net_prio type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,net_cls,net_prio)cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/pids type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,pids,release_agent=/run/cgmanager/agents/cgm-release-agent.pids)cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/memory type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,memory)cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/devices type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,devices)cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,cpuset,clone_children)cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,freezer)systemd-1 on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=35,pgrp=1,timeout=0,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct)mqueue on /dev/mqueue type mqueue (rw,relatime)debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,relatime)hugetlbfs on /dev/hugepages type hugetlbfs (rw,relatime)tracefs on /sys/kernel/debug/tracing type tracefs (rw,relatime)fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw,relatime)/dev/sda1 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)/dev/sda10 on /mnt/DATA type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allo    w_other,blksize=4096)binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,relatime)cgmfs on /run/cgmanager/fs type tmpfs (rw,relatime,size=100k,mode=755)tmpfs on /run/user/1000 type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,size=396576k,mode=700,uid=1000,gid=1000)gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/1000/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000)gvfsd-fuse on /root/.gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0)I moved my data to sda10

/mnt/DATA is mounted with the noexec flag. As a quick fix remount /mnt/DATA without noexec, i.e.mount -o remount,exec /mnt/DATAFor persistence, modify the according entry in /etc/fstab such that this flag is not set by default.
