Yesterday I had to chmod some files in a subdir from MyDocs. Experienced the same problems as OP, no error message from the terminal, but no changed file permissions either.

So, in order to get the job done, I did the following

Code:

sudo gainroot
umount /home/user/MyDocs
fsck -a /dev/mmcblk0p1
mount /home/user/MyDocs

That did the trick for me. Personally, I'd rather not change fstab entries, and even though I don't use Windows, I prefer maximum compatibility with OS's, so I kept the FAT32 as it is.

AFAIK, sh scripts can be run from a noexec partition. Binaries not.

So the answer is, yes, I use defaults.
