Forget it. Sorry to bother anyone. I need some sleep.

VFAT has no way to represent a symbolic link, so an error is just to be
expected. Perhaps the wording isn't optimal.

vfat/msdos/fat filesytems do not support symlinks.
lsattr is an ext2/ext3-specific command. It dives under the
standard unix/posix interfaces and talks to the filesystem
driver directly.

I'm getting this error on a large vfat partition:
lsattr /win/photo/scanner.test
lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on
/win/photo/scanner.test/frame4-atTableSep02.psd
lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on
/win/photo/scanner.test/frame2-atTableSep02.psd
I found this because I couldn't create a soft link (ln -s ) on the
partition. FWIW, ls -l does not show a problem.
vfat is compiled in 2.5.64-bk9. The fstab is
/dev/hdb8 /win/photo vfat defaults 0 0
df shows:
/dev/hdb8 32748528 3617488 29131040 12% /win/photo
sfdisk shows:
/dev/hdb8 1769+ 5847 4079- 32764536 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
There's nothing in /var/log/messages.
No problem with my other partitions - ext2 and ext3.
sean
