hello: I shrinked my root partition to 40GB and create a new 400GB for my home partition. Now I mount this new partition to home directory and the system can start up well. However, I find that I cannot excute anything in home directory although the permission seems to be good : ls -l run.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 albert users 1255 Apr 11 2012 run.sh ./run.sh bash: ./setup.sh: Permission denied even I run it with root, the problem is the same. I am wondering, what’s happening? thank you very much. ---

Hi Where does setup.sh live and it’s permissions? What is the permission on /home/albert Can you create and delete files ok in your home directory?

Can you post the output of `$ id $ mount ` and the output of ```auto $ ls -l ``` in whichever directory that setup.sh file is located in. Wrap all the output in CODE tags to make it readable. ---

Your post is half an hour before mine yet I’m sure it wasn’t there when I hit reply. I certainly didn’t spend anywhere near half an hour typing. Odd. ---
