One doesn't.
FAT doesn't do permsissions, it doesn't do ACLs and it doesn't do extended attributes (unless you're running OS/2 or [probably] Mac OS which cheat).

I'd like to keep the files on my FAT drive.  I've tried the

I epect the best you could home for is for everying to have the same extended attributes as the mount point.

Which is what the mount options like uid and umask do.  There seems to
be a fscontext option, but I've been unsuccessful with it so far.


There's little reason to keep stuff on FAT, whether on Windows or Linux. It wastes great gobs of space, performs badly, doesn't provide security (Windows) or Unix functionality. And, it can't handle big files.


Sharing files with a W9X based OS is one that comes to mind (not to
mention that the WinNT/XP ext drivers I can find have an unfinished
look).
