Here below is my /etc/fstab
<snip>
/dev/hda5               /               ext2    defaults        1 1
/dev/hda6               swap            swap    defaults        0 0
/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy     auto   
sync,user,noauto,nosuid,nodev,unhide 0 0
/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom      auto   
user,noauto,nosuid,exec,nodev,ro 0 0
none                    /proc           proc    defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/pts        devpts  mode=0622       0 0
/dev/hdc1               /home           ext2    defaults        0 0
/dev/hda1               /mnt/dos        vfat    defaults        0 0
</snip>

When logged as a comon' user I never 
can write on the DOS partitions (it's a real pity).
Doing a "su" & then requesting as root to "chown" of /dev/hda1
I've the following error :
<snip>
[root@Calvin dos]# chown -v tsmets.users *
failed to change owner of My Documents to tsmets.users
chown: My Documents: Operation not permitted
failed to change owner of My Download Files to tsmets.users
chown: My Download Files: Operation not permitted
...
</snip>

When I see the description of the CHOWN command 
Usage: chown [OPTION]... OWNER[.[GROUP]] FILE...  
It's what I do ... or I'm wrong ?


Thomas,

p.s. : 
users is a group with ID 100
tsmets is a user with ID 501
