Mounting fs ext3
I'm trying to find a correct command that will mount a filesystem ext3 the device /dev/sda1 to mount point /mnt/usb but not allow any programs to run from it.
I want to be honest as I've read the forum rules... This is a homework question BUT, i'm generally interested in the correct process and haven't been able to. Just trying to pass a wall that I am at. I completely understand if no one wishes to reply. Thanks!

mount_ptyfs
MOUNT_PTYFS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MOUNT_PTYFS(8)
NAME
mount_ptyfs -- mount the /dev/pts file system
SYNOPSIS
mount_ptyfs [-g group|gid] [-m mode] [-o options] ptyfs mount_point
DESCRIPTION
The mount_ptyfs command attaches an instance of the pseudo-terminal device filesystem to the global filesystem namespace. The conventional
mount point is /dev/pts. The directory specified by mount_point is converted to an absolute path before use. This command is normally exe-
cuted by mount(8) at boot time.
The filesystem contains pseudo-terminal slave device nodes which are allocated dynamically via ptm(4), or they are already open via tradi-
tional BSD style ptys.
The options are as follows:
-g group|gid
Specify the group ownership of the slave pseudo-tty.
-m mode
Specify the default mode of the slave pseudo-tty.
-o Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma separated string of options.
mount_ptyfs specific options are group which corresponds to -g, and mode which corresponds to -m. See the mount(8) man page for pos-
sible options and their meanings.
FILES
n The nth pseudo-terminal device in use.
SEE ALSO
mount(2), unmount(2), ptm(4), fstab(5), mount(8)
HISTORY
The mount_ptyfs utility first appeared in NetBSD 3.0.
BUGS
When multiple instances are mounted, they all display the union of the ptys used in each instance, not just the ones used in the particular
instance.
