This is a very weird scheme of things. We allow a system with generic set of 
UID/GID but block on some. If all you need to access a hard drive's data is to 
set correct UID/GID then why bother about it all. And anyone can chown the 
disk and have any sort of access they want. It should be automatically ported 
to the current user for sake of convenience at least for folks who use 
graphical file managers.
