The problem is when I mount a WinXP FAT32 partition in linux using the following command: mount -t vfat /dev/hda6 /home/shared I am unable to change the permission on that partition's filesystem even with the root user. By default i get root:root and the user:group. But I am unable to access it through other user. I have tried chmod and chgrp but nothing works and I get the error saying unable to perform operation or you do not have enough priveledges to perform the operation. I have also created an entry in the /etc/fstab file with defaults for options and vfat for the filesystem. Can anyone tell me what the problem is?
