Why does cp fail to do utimes on a FAT partition when I'm a normal user but it succeeds when I'm root? I can write the file as either user, but in the non-root case the resulting file modification time is wrong. > cp -p ~/xcpy2253.zip . cp: utimes: ./xcpy2253.zip: Operation not permitted cp: chown: ./xcpy2253.zip: Operation not permitted > su Password: # cp -p ~/xcpy2253.zip . cp: chown: ./xcpy2253.zip: Invalid argument Is there a way I can get it to succeed with utimes when cp is running as a normal user?
