First of all, with this last posting I am moving my enquiry to fedora-list as 
I seem to bother some guys on this list with an FC3 topic. I am sorry for 
being off-topic here though I believe this problem still persists in FC4 (I 
do not have the time to test this).

They are (of course) owned by root and only writable for root but if I mount a 
FAT-partition, the ownership is changed automatically to the user who mounted 
it. So, to render my question more precisely: Why isn't the ownership of a 
mounted ext3 partition not ajusted to the id of the mounting user?

Stephan.
