fat32 filesystem (it is not a partition problem) can not store
owner/permissions, that is why you get "operation not permited".
what you want to do is use options to set all the files on this
filesystem to permission rw-rw-rw, and possibly put these options in your
/etc/fstab.
try "man mount" and use the options:
uid=
gid=
umask=

Subject: can't change ownership in fat32 partition
i'm trying to give other users write access to my fat32 partition,
but it seems
that i'm not able to change permissions on it. i always get an "operation
not
permitted" when using "chown" and "chmod" to attempt to change it. is
there
anyway to work around this?
