USB Boot Drive Issue

[csmccarron]

So I updated to UnRaid 6.8 tonight and the upgrade process went smoothly.  After the upgrade my USB Boot drive is all RW.  I have a bin folder on that drive and all of my custom scripts are -rw------.  I cannot change permissions on the folder at all.  This is effecting all of the files on the boot disk.  Any help would be much appreciated.

 

I can create new files on the disk but they are automatically created RW also.

 

Thanks

If you read the release notes for the 6.8 release you will see this is by design.    As part of the tightening of security on the flash drive it is now no longer for any file located there to have the executable bit set.

 

Possible solutions are:

• copy the files elsewhere (e.g. /usr/local/bin) during the Unraid boot process and then set the required permissions.    Such copying can be done either via the ‘go’ file or via the User Scripts plugin.
• scripts can be executed from the flash drive by preceding them by the command name (e.g, bash path-to-script)
• scripts can also be executed via the User Scripts plugin which will handle this change correctly.
