I am not sure how this could be dealt with besides passing -o quiet to mount.vfat. Any ideas?
The problem is in the function utimes. I have mounted vfat partition as a root, then changed permissions to 777 for all files. However, I wasn't be able to touch any file (changing date to the past) as a normal user. utimes() should check write permission instead of uid/ I didn't read 'touch' source code and it is probably caused by it's procedures that I was able to change modification date to the current date. Single UNIX Specification says crealy that to do utimes on a file user have to had write permissions or be a file owner.
