The uid= and gid= options need a bit more explaining. They will accept a
-decimal numeric value which will be used as the default ID for that mount.
-They will also accept the string "ignore" and "forget". For files on the disk
-that are owned by nobody ( -1 ), they will instead look as if they are owned
-by the default ID. The ignore option causes the default ID to override all
-IDs on the disk, not just -1. The forget option causes all IDs to be written
-to disk as -1, so when the media is later remounted, they will appear to be
-owned by whatever default ID it is mounted with at that time.
+decimal numeric value and all inodes on that mount will then appear as
+belonging to that uid and gid. Mount options also accept the string "forget".
+The forget option causes all IDs to be written to disk as -1 which is a way
+of UDF standard to indicate that IDs are not supported for these files .
-For typical desktop use of removable media, you should set the ID to that
-of the interactively logged on user, and also specify both the forget and
-ignore options. This way the interactive user will always see the files
-on the disk as belonging to him.
