Not answering your problem, but I have the same behaviour here. (Debian sid, kernel 2.4.19) noexec is not mentionned in my /etc/fstab for that filesystem Thouh "mount" reports (as the /etc/mtab does too): /path/to_file/cryptofile on /mnt/crypto type ext2 \ (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,loop=/dev/loop0,encryption=aes,user=myuser) ^^^^^^ Looks like the noexec option is automatically added at mount time?
