I have a 300g drive with a vfat filesystem (created with mkfs.vfat)
that I write files (well I want to write files to) to from both
opensuse 10.3 and windows vista. (dual boot config, this filesystem is
never mounted to both at once)

However, when booted into opensuse only root can write to the
filesystem and chmod has no effect. (For example chmod 777
/mnt/data01/Documents (the mount point) appears to run successfully
because $? = 0, however the permissions are not changed)

I did not see anywhere in vista where I could set permissions on the
directory as you could in XP.

The output of mount -v shows only one option - rw.

#mount -v | grep hda1
/dev/hda1 on /mnt/data01 type vfat (rw)

Anyone have any suggestions??
Thanks,
CC
