Trouble using vditool

Post by privateer »

When I attempt to use the vditool to convert an image file to a vdi file, I get the following error;

./vditool DD file.vdi file.bin

bash: ./vditool: Permission denied

I have set the execute permission via chmod and I am running the command as root.

Any ideas as to what is causing the error?

What says "ls -l ./vditool"?

:oops: As it turned out, the issue was due to the mount option noexec I had on the drive that was storing the files I needed to convert and the vditool was also in the same location.

Once I changed the option to exec and remounted the drive, the file now executes.
