I cannot even change permissions with chmod 777 that on one hand returns no error but on the other does not change the permissions either.

File system is exfat.

But my issue is inabililty to create symbolic links on exfat filesystem.
Have checked the wiki entry for exfat but nothing caught my attention regarding the symbolic link, so the question is, does exfat by design allow for symbolic links?
