Subject:   Cannot CHMOD or CHOWN on Fat partition?
Message-ID:  <MDAEMON10001200010311133.AA3354062@sbohm.yi.org>

I have a second hard drive in my FreeBSD box, running release 4.1.1.  
I have added the drive to /etc/fstab with the following line:

/dev/ad3s1 /server_root msdos rw 1 1

I have also tried 0 0, and 2 2 for the Dump and Pass#.  I'll admit I have no real basis for this, other than the fact that the other partitions used 2 2, except root..

The partition mounts fine, I can read and write from root, but I absolutely cannot change the file permissions or own of any of the files.  I have tried chmod from root, repeated, and get nothing.  Is is not possible to change the permissions of a drive
that is FAT/FAT32?
