Changing permissions


Hi guys!

Everytime I try to change the permissions of /mnt/hd which is a mounted partition nothing happens.

Well, it's a bad nothing happens 'cause the prompt returns to its original form, but when I tryed to use the folder writing/copying something to it I can't.

Let me show you I did.

Code:
root@luthor:# ls -lsh
16K drwxr-xr-x 5 root root  16K 1969-12-31 21:00 hd/
root@luthor:/mnt# chmod -R 777 hd/
root@luthor:/mnt# ls -lsh
16K drwxr-xr-x 5 root root  16K 1969-12-31 21:00 hd/
I also tryed changing the owner and group, but that didn't worked too.

Goes as follows:

Code:
root@luthor:/mnt# chown -R manuelafl:users hd/
chown: changing ownership of `hd/downloads/slackware/flash-plugin-9.0.115.0-release.i386.rpm.rpm': Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of `hd/downloads/slackware/slackpkg-2.70-noarch-1.tar': Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of `hd/downloads/slackware/slackpkg-2.70-noarch-1.tgz.tgz': Operation not permitted
It has more, but as I only want you guys get a glimpsy of my problem wrote only this few lines.

Tryed changing only the group but...

Code:
root@luthor:/mnt# chgrp -R users hd/
chgrp: changing group of `hd/downloads/slackware/flash-plugin-9.0.115.0-release.i386.rpm.rpm': Operation not permitted
chgrp: changing group of `hd/downloads/slackware/slackpkg-2.70-noarch-1.tar': Operation not permitted
So people..Anyone? Any idea about this? Any help wanted!!!

Already tried that and it worked, but when I mounted back the partition the original, which is rwxr--r--, permissions returned.

Please see man mount and man fstab, different filesystems take different options.
