I have set up an NTFS partition to automount via fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid 0       0
# / was on /dev/sda7 during installation
UUID=e63fa8a2-432f-4749-b9db-dab328807d04 /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0          1
# /boot was on /dev/sda4 during installation
UUID=e9ad1bb4-7c1f-4ea9-a6a5-799dfad71c0a /boot           ext4    defaults        0       2
# /home was on /dev/sda8 during installation
UUID=eda8c755-5448-4de8-b58c-9cb75823c22d /home           ext4    defaults        0       2
# swap was on /dev/sda9 during installation
UUID=804ff3a7-e5dd-406a-b63c-e8f3c635fbc5 none            swap    sw              0       0

#Windows-Partition
UUID=368CEBC57807FDCD   /media/Share  ntfs    defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,noexec    0   0

As you can see I have added the noexec bit to the configuration. Why? Because any file I create on or move to the partition is automatically marked as executable.

The problem is that there is no way of changing that through nautilus. I cannot uncheck the "Allow executing file as program" option.

The noexec option doesn't help, unfortunately. It only prevents nautilus from displaying the "run" or "read" dialog but doesn't change the executable flag.

Is there any way I can fix this?
