RockDawg Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I am building a new system and wanted to stress test it a bit before I put it into production. I downloaded the Linux64 version, extracted it and copied mprime to the flash drive. When I run mprime it says Permission denied. Do I need to do something different? I running on a fresh flash drive and didn't register for unraid Trial because I wanted to keep this flash to just test systems before I put them on my Pro registered flash. Could this be the issue?

itimpi Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Are you booted into UnRAID at the time? Just asking as UnRaid does not let any file on the flash drive have execute permission. 1 Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Try copying the executable to a location in RAM before running it. /boot is FAT32, and is set up to deny executables. 1 Quote Link to comment
RockDawg Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Yes, I am am booted into Unraid. What location would be in RAM? Quote Link to comment

RockDawg Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 I have tried /home and /proc with no luck. /home still tells me Permission denied. /proc gives the following: root@Tower2:/# cp /boot/prime95/mprime /proc/mprime cp: cannot create regular file '/proc/mprime': No such file or directory I don;t have any drives installed. I'm just trying to test the system before putting into my case with drives and such. Quote Link to comment
RockDawg Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) I just copied mprime to /mnt and tried to run it. It says Permission denied. Edited October 10, 2020 by RockDawg Quote Link to comment
RockDawg Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 I literally just figured that out. Not a Linux guy if you couldn't tell. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
zzsprade Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Having followed the Guide on Reddit, I am having a similar issue with permissions for the Flash as RockDawg. Can I ask for any help on the simplest way/commands to change the permissions to be executable. Ie. is there an example of how to use chmod for a non Linux guy. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
RockDawg Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 If the file is named mprime, then... chmod +x mprime Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Doesn't matter if you chmod or not. Executable permissions on the flash drive are not allowed. You have to copy the file elsewhere, chmod and then execute it from there. Quote Link to comment
zzsprade Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 My thanks to you both RockDawg and Squid. Quote Link to comment
