[Bug 1544251] Re: mount ignores exec option for 'users' mounts

[Ben Kurtz]

** Description changed:

  The version of 'mount' included in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and 12.04 LTS has a
  bug wherein the 'exec' option in /etc/fstab is ignored on mounts with
  the 'user' or 'users' options when they are mounted by root.  For
  example:
  
  $ grep 48tb2d /etc/fstab
  labdisk.site.com:/Public4	/mnt/lab_48tb2d	nfs	users,exec,nosuid	0 0
  $ sudo mount /mnt/lab_48tb2d
  $ mount | grep 48tb2d
  labdisk.site.com:/Public4 on /mnt/lab_48tb2d type nfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,addr=172.16.222.158)
  $ umount /mnt/lab_48tb2d
  $ mount /mnt/lab_48tb2d
  $ mount | grep 48tb2d
  labdisk.site.com:/Public4 on /mnt/lab_48tb2d type nfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,addr=172.16.222.158)
