write access for ext3 denied

Salamz,

I'm using knoppix distro (CD). I created an ext3 parition for write purposes. It won't let me set the permissions. When I try to enable write access I receive the following error:

"Changing the attribute of files is not supported with protocol devices"

I would have expected the error in an ntfs partition, but why am I getting it in an ext3 partition. Any way to resolve the issue, otherwise I won't be able to save anything.

Best Regards, Amori

how did you try to enable the

how did you try to enable the write access to the device?

did you mount the device properly

mount /dev/??? /path/to/mountedfs -o rw

ensure that the directory which the devices is mounted on has the write permission for the user.
