I have most of my disk space in an ext4
partition which I automountt on startup through fstab
. The corresponding line in fstab
is this one:
/dev/sda9 /media/rest ext4 users,user 0 0
Now I'm trying to install a game through Steam
and I want the data folder to be stored in said partition, but when I try to select a folder in it I get the error:
New Steam library folder must be on a filesystem mounted with execute permissions
So I need that partition to have execute permissions. I'm guessing modifying the line in fstab
to this might do the trick:
/dev/sda9 /media/rest ext4 users,user,exec 0 0
but I'm not really sure and I don't want to mess up my system. Is this the correct solution for the mentioned issue?
