Can't change folder permissions on FAT32 partition-Mac OSX
In have an external hard drive which has two partitions:
Mac OSX Extended Journaled
MS-DOS FAT
Basically if I select get info for any file/folder on the FAT partition, there is no option to change permissions under the sharing and permissions section.
Additionally when I try to chown or chmod the file/folder in terminal the command seems to work, but when I then try ls -l on the file/folder it becomes apparent the command hasn't done anything.
Please can someone help as I need to modify the permissions of the folder in order to start my database server.
