i've been having this problem for a lot of time now, and i haven't found an answer on the forum or in the wiki.
i don't have write permission to my vfat partition for normal users and i'm not able to change the permissions using chmod. I tried adding my user to the storage group.
fstab looks like this:
/dev/hda5 /mnt/warehouse vfat rw,user 0 0
please help

i tried it, but it says:
chown: changing ownership of `/mnt/warehouse': Operation not permitted

Did you run this command as root ?

vfat doesn't know owner, group or permission attributes that's why you can't change them. You have to cheat:
/dev/hda5 /mnt/warehouse vfat iocharset=utf8,umask=000,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0
would be an example. Please consult 'man mount' for further mount options.

thank you!
writing that line in fstab did the job
