How to mount USB drive with exec

[Epowerj]

I want to mount a USB drive (/dev/sdb1) with exec so I can install steam games on it, but fstab doesn't seem to work. I've also learned that Chrome OS mounts with noexec by default.

How do you mount a USB drive with exec?

I think you can do it with a remount, something like:
sudo mount -o remount,exec [mountpoint]

It worked, thanks!

Great and your welcome.
I have a couple of 'remounts' that I stick in my .bashrc file so they get run each time I log in.

Can I do this with the home folder? How can I make the home folder have exec permanently? There's no /etc/fstab which I'm normally used to.

Cool,

sudo mount -i -o remount,exec /home/chronos/user

works. (-i was required). I guess I can just put that in my bashrc or zshrc.

Maybe also have bash check if the noexec option is currently enabled, and only run the above command when noexec is present, to avoid running it for every terminal you open.
