Hello,
I have the following /etc/fstab entry
//server/mirko/ /z dont_care binary,posix=0,user,noacl,notexec 0 0
for a server directory where I store my backups. I will not be using
any of those files as executables. I have cygwin running on my
desktop.
The manual states that the `exec' option avoids the overhead of
opening each file to determine whether it is an executable or not.
Will the notexec option also improve reduce the overhead?
Thanks,
Mirko
