Bug Description
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.
$ sudo mount /mnt/lab_48tb2d
$ mount | grep 48tb2d
labdisk.
$ umount /mnt/lab_48tb2d
$ mount /mnt/lab_48tb2d
$ mount | grep 48tb2d
labdisk.
This bug was fixed upstream several years ago and I believe therefore doesn't affect 15.10, but seems not to have made it into the current LTS releases of ubuntu.
