[cumbria_lug] fat32 file system and linux

[cumbria@mailman.lug.org.uk]

Hi,
   can anyone advise me on the following. I share a fat32 partition between 
Linux and Windows XP. Linux only lets me write to the fat32 in root and 
although telling me I own the files, it won't let me transfer ownership to a 
user. This is a real pain.

Is this an inherent limitation of fat32 or is there a workaround?

the fat32 partition is mounted at start up using "vfat" in fstab.

thanks


Guy
