The file system actually had no bearing on the issue I was having, whether ext2,
ext3, or FAT32, the symptoms were identical - recent versions of udisks now does not allow
'direct' execution of scripts from auto-mounted removable media. <br><br>Also,
there is some debate as to whether putting a journalling fs onto an SD
or USB drive is wise, as it might half its life by in essence doubling the number of writes. In
general, I tend to stick with the factory default unless I need
multiple partitions, symbolic link, or specific linux-swap support, since I presume the
manufacturer has formatted it with the right number of blocks, units,
etc to best match their controller/memory config. If I need those, I will still use ext2. Call me optimistic :-)<br><br>Cheers,<br>

</div>If you're only using this USB stick with Linux machines, why don't you<br>
just format it using a file system with POSIX semantics, i.e. ext3?<br>
