Hi there, this is a very minor flaw, but i thought I'd report it here in case someone is interested to adjust the behaviour of chmod. It seems that chmod wont always report if it cant do a change of file permission or if it failed. This lead us on IRC to waste some minutes when someone wasnt able to chmod a FAT filesystem - obviously because FAT doesnt allow chmod 777 for example :)
But I think it should report a message such as: "Can not modify permission of FAT file." or something like this, so that a user gets a better hint what he should do, or what error has caused the files to not change to permissions 777 Thanks for reading = New Zealand Tours Book direct.
