To save space on internal memory I copied a large file (gpsbabel) to mmc1 but it has the permissions rw r r no execute. I changed the /etc/fstab to temove the noexec, but new files are still created with rw r r (no x-es).
How can I set the mmc1 in /etc/fstab that all files are created with rwx r x r x ?

The format is FAT32.

Or can I reformat it to ext3 ?

You don't if it's FAT as it does not support the exec perm. ext3 is the way. Or a clone to SD.

You can: look for the "fmask" mount option or just set it to "0033" (rwx for owner, r-- for rest).

You can't change that in /etc/fstab anyway (unlike a desktop file that setting is ephemeral), there is a script in /usr/sbin that does the actual mounting (look for mmc something). But if you change that script then _all_ files on the card will have the exec bit set, you can't just set it for just the files you want.

The better option is to go for the 'clone to sd card' trick.

What is the 'clone to sd card' trick ?

Just put something like 'site:talk.maemo.org clone to sd'
into a famous web search engine and you'll find the links.

Currently is should already mount for x or should it be explicitly 0033 instead of 0133 ?
It is /usr/sbin/mmc-mount .

Code:
#!/bin/sh
mount -t vfat -o rw,noauto,nodev,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,utf8,uid=29999,shortname=mixed,dmask=000,fmask=0133 "$1" "$2" > /dev/null
For me it doesn't matter that *all* files are rwx r x r x .

UPDATE:
I set it to 0033 and IT WORKS !!

Should be 0033; 0133 is rw- for owner.

I found out now that using GarnetVM i moved the gvm.store to /media/mmc1 and symlinked ~/.gvm/gvm.store to that file and that works after I set the mount mask to 0033, so I now save another 16MB on the internal storage.
Previous attempts failed.
Thanks a lot.
