>Description:
   I have mount FAT32 slice and USB flash memory during installation of FreeBSD i.e. in /mnt/windata and /mnt/usbFM
so I have them in fstab file.
Afterwards I wanted to change mode

chmod 777 /mnt/windata
and same with USB
but with no results  
please note that I have no experience in FreeBSD

Thanks!

State-Changed-By: ceri 
State-Changed-When: Wed Nov 24 14:51:50 GMT 2004 
State-Changed-Why:  
FAT32 doesn't support permissions, so chmod cannot do anything here. 
If you want to change the permissions of the mount point (i.e., 
/mnt/usbFM and /mnt/windata in your case), change the permission 
before you mount the FAT32 disks.
