The uid= and gid= options need a bit more explaining. They will accept a

-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.

+The forget option causes all IDs to be written to disk as -1 which is a way
