[Sheflug] It's that ownership thing again..

[Ruth Gunstone <ruth [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've managed to set-up a shared folder on my laptop (rasillon), which I can
connect to from my workstation (gallifrey). No problem there. On rasillon,
the shared folder is on a FAT32 parttion, which has a mount point in my
'home' folder (/home/ruth/Data). BUT when I try to save or copy something
into it from gallifrey, I get "access denied" :-(

All the files and folders in /home/ruth/Data have permissions set to
rwxrwxrwx , but I notice that owner is declared as root. When I change to su
and do 'chown ruth -R', I get a succession of 'operation not permitted'
lines.

What have I done wrong?
