How aware of the filesystem underneath is fakeroot?
Is it limited to tmpfs/UFS/ZFS?

For example...

If I execute chown(2) from within a fakeroot'd program that
is trying to change the ownership of a file on a CD,
will fakeroot make it appear as if it worked?
Can I make it appear as if I can rename files on a CD?
etc.

... the man page gives me no indication of whether or not it
respects filesystem properties (which not even root can
over ride unless the filesystem is remounted.)
