I found out that I have to add the "exec" option in my fstab, and now it works. Here is my fstab entry: /dev/hda5 /windows/D vfat users,gid=users,umask=0000,rw,exec 0 0 But I still don't understand why I could see the execute rights for all files and folders although this was wrong. Anyway I'm glad to have it working now.
