Hello,
Today I came across of rather perplexing feature (or something else) i can not get it.
If a regular user opens floppy it gets mounted with the following permissions:
rwx r-x r-x
So far so good, but if a 'root' issues 'chmod 666', permissions change to:
rw- r-- r--
So the root can not give the group write permission (the same for the other).
In this case the root is not an almighty one !!
Any clue ? Thanks.

floppy write protected? jdd
If only I made such a mistake .... User CAN delete files on /media/floppy .....
In the meantime i mounted it by 'hand' - just out of curiosity:
mount -t msdos -o rw,uid=500 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
The result is the same : i can't set write bit and period.
Thanks Zvone Z.
Well, i have made an ext2 fs system on the diskette and i can set write bit. It seems (although obvious) that on floppies shared between WINs and Linux (fat) is not possible to use chmod 666 or i'm wrong AGAIN.
