Moving Files to USB in F9 Live USB Persistent install

[zackf]

So for a weekend project I threw F9 Live on a USB and made it persistent and it rocks out. I got wireless working and everything. If I download a file say to /home/fedora/Download and then try to move it to the USB mounted FEDORA (basically the rest of the USB drive that the persistent install is not on) it says I do not have permission. I do have read permission to the USB drive as I can open the files I put on it from Windows, F9, or Ubu...uh other linux distros.

I can also move it as root eg: mv /home/fedora/Download/notporn.mov /media/FEDORA/

Which moves it but I do get an error that permissions are not saved.

I guess that permission thing may have something to do with F9 on the USB being ext3 and the USB drive being FAT32 huh?

But I would like to be able to drag/drop as a user and not root.

Thanks for any ideas!

My original post is a little confusing so I posted the output of what happens when I'm root:

[root@localhost Desktop]# mv laughy.mov /media/FEDORA/
mv: failed to preserve ownership for `/media/FEDORA/walky laughy.mov': Operation not permitted
mv: preserving permissions for `/media/FEDORA/walky laughy.mov': Operation not permitted
[root@localhost Desktop]#

But the file did in fact move.

That was from my Live-USB persistent desktop to the part of the USB drive. As a normal user I don't have permission at all.

[root@localhost Desktop]# chown -R fedora:fedora /media/FEDORA/
chown: changing ownership of `/media/FEDORA/gpl': Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of `/media/FEDORA/LiveOS/livecd-iso-to-disk': Operation not permitted

.....[it goes through every file like that]
