I am mounting two msdos filesystems, /dos and /dos2, at bootup.  I want 
to change the permissions so that no one but root will be able to even 
look at the filessystems.

chmod 700 /dos doesn't seem to touch the directory entires, so I'm 
wondering, how DO i block off access to these two directories?

which leads me to me second question.  When i load /dos2, which is an IDE 
1.03GIG drive (second physical drive), I get "mountmsdosfs(): root 
directory is not a multiple of the clustersize in length".  I don't 
really know what this means or what to expect when using the filesystem, 
so I have disabled loading it for now.  Any ideas?
