hi,

I have problems changing file permission into my VFAT file system.

"/etc/fstab"
/dev/hda5 /mnt/data vfat uid=500,gid=500 0 0

I also tried umounting and mounting back the fs using the below, FS is
mounted  but still cannot change file permission

mount -t vfat /dev/hda5 -o user,rw,exec,umask=000 /mnt/data

--
as root,

cd /mnt/data
mkdir test
chown user.user data
chown: changing ownership of `test': Operation not permitted
--

kernel 2.6.8.1

any hint?

thanks
Lister
