Re: [LI] chmod in a vfat mounted part

[Rajesh Fowkar <rfowkar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

As far as I know commands such as chmod, chown etc. which I regarding
file or directory right permission require ext2 file sytem. Hence they are  not
executed on msdos / vfat partition.

Correct me guys if I am wrong.
