I have a drive/partition mapped to /mnt/DOS_hdb6, and it is vfat. It's purpose is to hold games (windoze games, some of which can be played with wine). I want to make it, or at least directories on it, writeable to users but I cannot do it, which confuses me somewhat. I log in as root or superuser and try to chmod portions of the drive as writeable to all, but I keep getting "operation not permitted" messages. Excuse me? As root I can do anything I want. I can wipe any and all drives, partitions, mountpoints off the face of the earth. I can delete the system by running "rm -rf /*" and I wont be stopped with "operation not permitted" messages but I am not permitted to change one lousy mount, or portions thereof, to be world-writeable? What do I have to do AS ROOT to do this? I cannot do "chmod 777" on it, let alone ANY other variation of chmod on /mnt/DOS_hdb6 OR any subdirectory on it. Why not? praedor
