I just mounted a USB stick which has been formatted with exFAT and the files and directories are executable: # ls -la /run/media/michael/VERBATIM32G/ total 10672960 drwxrwxrwx 1 michael michael 32768 Jan 1 1970 . drwxr-x---+ 3 root root 60 Apr 30 11:40 .. I tested running a bash script by passing the full path to the terminal and it works as expected. -- Regards, Mick
