I just mounted a USB stick which has been formatted with exFAT and the files |
22 |
and directories are executable: |
23 |
|
24 |
# ls -la /run/media/michael/VERBATIM32G/ |
25 |
total 10672960 |
26 |
drwxrwxrwx 1 michael michael 32768 Jan 1 1970 . |
27 |
drwxr-x---+ 3 root root 60 Apr 30 11:40 .. |
28 |

I tested running a bash script by passing the full path to the terminal and it |
30 |
works as expected. |
