I have a storage drive I normally mount just clicking on the disc in the file browser. However, I want to be able to run some bash scripts from that drive. When I try ./script.sh
I get Permission Denied. How can I set it up so I can run scripts from this drive?

What filesystem is used on the drive in question?– dobeyJan 22, 2013 at 21:10

Work Around
There is a simple work around, instead of ./script.sh
, do
sh script.sh
Or
bash script.sh
You should check the first line of script.sh to confirm which shell to use.
Manual Mount
Mount with command line, you can use the exec
option as follow
mount -o exec <device> <mount-point/path>
mount -o exec /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
If the disc is automounted, you will have to un-mount(not eject) it with file manager first.
udisk
This is the complicated way and is answered in this post.

No good, the script also tries to call other scripts and stuff getting permission denied. Jan 22, 2013 at 21:20

To check your cdrom/dvdrom dev path, put in a disc, wait for it to automount, then in a terminal type "mount", it should show up in the list. Possibiliteis:
/dev/sr0

1The second arguments is actually just any empty folder you created beforehand. Common ones to use are
/mnt/cdrom
,/media/cdrom
