           Summary: Confusing error message when executing application on
                    noexec fs
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.55.
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2

Hi there,

I'm suggesting to make some checks prior to loading and executing applications.
The problem I encountered yesterday was that when trying to start applications
from a filesystem with the noexec parameter enabled the whole app pagefaults.

That was really my mistake because I accidentally changed some lines in the
fstab after changing the encryption engine of my system. I only have the exec
parameter enabled on the games filesystem, all other data filesystem don't have
it enabled.

It would be a good thing to output a somehow more informative error message
when such a configuration is encountered (executing code from noexec fs).

I suggest this because I was quite confused seeing the application to pagefault
that was running two days ago (and I didn't do any package updates in these two
days).

Thanks,
Tobias
