I am having a few problems with a DOS drive. I Am running Windows XP and
Red Hat 8.0. The windows drive has been partitioned to give me a FAT32
drive so that I can read and write in both Linux and windows. The
problem is that I cannot set the Ownership or Permissions of the drive
or its contents even when logged in as ROOT.

Changing ownership under root gives me

# chown mark /mnt/dosf
chown: changing ownership of `/mnt/dosf': Operation not permitted

Changing Permissions gives me

# chmod 777 /mnt/dosf
chmod: changing permissions of `/mnt/dosf' (requested: 0777, actual:
0755): Operation not permitted

A copy of my FSTAB file is below

LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
LABEL=/tmp /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdb6 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/dosf vfat users,rw 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/camera auto noauto,rw,users 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/card vfat noauto,rw,users 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

Hope you can help and this is enough information.
