Re: Cannot run a program from an optical drive

Hello,



When I try to run a program from an optical drive as the 'root' user in
Debian 7.0, I get a permission denied return.

Does anyone know why this happened and how I can stop it from happening
again?

Is the drive mounted with the noexec option? That will prevent programs from running. I think mount defaults to noexec for optical and removable drives, unless you specify the exec option the mount command or fstab.

Try mount -o remount,exec $mountpoint
