LinuxQuestions.org - executable doesn't work on 2.5" USB2.0 HD

Hi folks,

I bought a 2.5" 80G USB2.0 HD and partitioned it into two 40G partitions, NTFS and EXT3 respectively. I mount the EXT3 with the following command:

Code:

mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/usb2

I also made myself the owner of /mnt/usb2, thus, I am able to read, write and create files in /mnt/usb2. However, I encountered an odd problem when I was setting up a cross-compiling environment, that is, I can not do "make menuconfig" in /mnt/usb2. I got the following msg and the console just went freeze:

Code:

make menuconfig

rm -f include/asm-arm/arch include/asm-arm/proc

(cd include/asm-arm; ln -sf arch- arch; ln -sf proc- proc)

rm -f include/asm

( cd include ; ln -sf asm-arm asm)

make -C scripts/lxdialog all

make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/usb2/home/cyu021/Desktop/eos/research/implementation_dvs_io_rt/microtime/s3c2410/linux/scripts/lxdialog'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/usb2/home/cyu021/Desktop/eos/research/implementation_dvs_io_rt/microtime/s3c2410/linux/scripts/lxdialog'

/bin/sh scripts/Menuconfig arch/arm/config.in

Using defaults found in arch/arm/defconfig

Preparing scripts: functions, parsing............................................................................done.

Neither can I run any executable resides in /mnt/usb2, I got permission denied regardless I log in as a regular user or root (doing "su").

Here is some info about my working environment:

Code:
