Hiya, [context: util-linux 2.16-1ubuntu5 on Ubuntu 9.10, 2.6.31-17-generic] I can see mount(8) states: Note that the filesystem mount options will remain the same as those on the original mount point, and cannot be changed by passing the -o option along with --bind/--rbind. However, one can do for instance: mount --bind /here /there mount -o remount,noexec /there And that works (without affecting /here). Maybe that would be worth documenting, or better, "mount" could be changed so that one can do it in a single step with: mount --bind -o noexec /here /there What do you think? -- Stephane P.S.
