This issue is clearly related to ext2fs;

in UFS all is fine:

# mkdir dev
# mknod dev/hda7 b 3 7 root:mail
# chmod 0660 dev/hda7
# ls -l dev/hda7 =

brw-rw----  1 root  mail  0x307 Jan 20 13:25 dev/hda7

in ext2fs mounted as /mnt it does not work:

# mkdir /mnt/dev
# mknod /mnt/dev/hda7 b 3 7 root:mail
mknod: setting ownership on /mnt/dev/hda7: Operation not supported
# chmod 0660 /mnt/dev/hda7
chmod: /mnt/dev/hda7: Operation not supported
# ls -l /mnt/dev/hda7
brw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  0x307 Jan 20 13:26 /mnt/dev/hda7

Is this a bug in ext2fs or a feature?
