So what filesystem does your external drive have? Is it EXT3/4 or NTFS? On NTFS filesystem UNIX/Linux permission bits may not work properly, although the underlying ntfs-3g system has improved a lot. So, I would suggest that you try copying the executable file to a local directory and try installing from there.

Okay, so you were really referring to SAN. Well, as always, with Linux you can build your own cheap SAN. Just grab any old machine (you may have to buy IO expansion cards, but that's cheaper than buying a new machine), install CentOS or Ubuntu (that way, you do not have to spend for support), make use of software RAID (so zero expense on RAID card), install scsi-target-utils, sg3_utils pacakages to make the box an iSCSI target (there are numerous articles on this. Any help, just drop in a thread here). That's it and you have a rock solid SAN server! ;-)

Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention that, the only thing you're going to have to spend your money on is buying hard disks (again, SATA disks are cheaper)

NTFS.UTIL(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					      NTFS.UTIL(8)

NAME

     ntfs.util -- NTFS file system utility

SYNOPSIS

     ntfs.util -k device

     ntfs.util -m device mountpoint mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4

     ntfs.util -p device mountflag1 mountflag2

     ntfs.util -u device mountpoint

DESCRIPTION

     The ntfs.util command supports the mounting, probing, and unmounting of NTFS file systems.

     Options:
	   -k	       Get the UUID key for the NTFS file system at device.
	   -m	       Mount the NTFS file system located on device onto mountpoint with the flags mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4.
	   -p	       Probe the device for an NTFS file system using the flags mountflag1 mountflag2.	If the probe is successful, i.e. the
		       device contains a valid NTFS file system, its label is printed to the standard output stream.
	   -u	       Unmount the NTFS file system located at device and mounted on mountpoint.

     The mountflags referenced above are:
