Why I can not change ownership of an OCFS mount point?

[Ivanova Crawford]

>From /etc/fstab

/dev/emcpowerb7         /u07                    ocfs   _netdev


drwxrwxr-x    1 500      oinstall   131072 Aug 10 16:41 u07

When I'm trying to issue the following command it doesn't let me:

  address@hidden root]# chown root:oinstall /u07
 chown: changing ownership of `/u07': Operation not permitted
 address@hidden root]# chown oracle:oinstall /u07
 chown: changing ownership of `/u07': Operation not permitted

 But when I try subdirectories it works:

 chown -R oracle:oinstall /u07/oradata
 address@hidden root]# ls -l /u07
 total 128
 drwxr-xr-x    1 oracle   oinstall   131072 Aug 11 12:51 oradata
