Did you notice this one?:
Mount options for fat
(Note: fat is not a separate filesystem, but a common part of the
msdos, umsdos and vfat filesystems.)
[...]
quiet Turn on the quiet flag. Attempts to chown or chmod files do not
return errors, although they fail. Use with caution!
If you're getting the quiet behavior without the quiet mount option, I'd say
that's a kernel bug.
