I have a script in the current dir, however, I cannot execute it given that:

1. the permission is -rwxr-xr-x
   


2. the script has a shabang #!/bin/bash at the top of the file


3. my shell is /bin/bash
   


4. I can execute it using bash script.sh
   


5. I cannot execute it using ./script.sh, it gives me bash: ./script.sh: Permission denied
   

I'd like to know why is this happening and what the solution is? Thanks in advance.

• The execution is not allowed because the file is on a filesystem mounted with the "noexec" option. Use findmnt -u -T . to find out if that's the case. If you have root privileges, mount -o remount,exec <dir> should remove this option.




• The execution is not allowed by MAC policies (SELinux, SMACK, possibly AppArmor). Check the system logs, starting with journalctl -n 100 and dmesg. Bypassing this (if you're the administrator) depends on which MAC system is actually in use.

  Thank you, in my case it is noexec. I got confused, I have this disk mount as /home ext4 auto,exec,rw,async,user 0 2 in /etc/fstab, why is it noexec?
