No trick question. After reading your reply and thinking it over, I see I
was confusing things. I was used to using vfat partitions as data storage
areas which needed to be mounted with gid or uid options. I failed to think
about how I normally mount linux partitions and how I make my home
directory accessible to me even though it lives on a partition that's
mounted via root.
