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. + +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.
