I have one partition on one disk that the system believes is read-only.  It is 
a FAT32 filesystem.  The only thing different from the other FAT32 partitions 
(I dual boot w/ Windows 98 for games) is that this partition is primary, 
whereas the rest are logical.  No other partitions on the disk have this 
problem and all FAT32 drives are mounted using the same options 
in /etc/fstab.  Here is an example:

# rm -R /mnt/storage/downloads/
rm: cannot remove `/mnt/storage/downloads//WinZip_v8.0.exe': Read-only file 
system
rm: cannot remove `/mnt/storage/downloads//WinRAR_v3.11.exe': Read-only file 
system
...

As you can see, not even root can change files (mv, cp, rm -- doesn't matter).  
I only started noticing this problem a couple of days ago, but that doesn't 
mean it wasn't there before.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Curtis
