My stick drives really don't act much like Linux drives in some ways.
I'm puzzled.

FC4. AVB and Imation (same behavior). Here are the fstab lines:

/dev/sda /mnt/avb auto noauto,noatime,user     0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/imation auto noauto,noatime,user     0 0

I tried adding "rw" to the switches. No help.

Here are two aberrations (there may be more):

1. When I copy regular files to the drive, they always have executable
attributes in the copy even when not in the original.

2. chown is not permitted, even to root:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cd /mnt/avb/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] avb]$ ll
total 20
drwxr-xr-x  2 lbarnes lbarnes 4096 Jan 29 13:49 gpg
drwxr-xr-x  2 lbarnes lbarnes 4096 Apr 25  2005 misc
drwxr-xr-x  4 lbarnes lbarnes 4096 Apr 10  2005 pix
drwxr-xr-x  2 lbarnes lbarnes 4096 Apr 10  2005 putty
drwxr-xr-x  3 lbarnes lbarnes 4096 Nov  6 08:16 tclconf
[EMAIL PROTECTED] avb]$ su
Password:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] avb]# chown 0:0 misc/
chown: changing ownership of `misc/': Operation not permitted

Any thoughts?
