    I have a Fat32 partition that I use to share files between Windows and
    FreeBSD. I have it mounted on /home and when it mounts the owner of all
    the files is root and the group is wheel. Is there a way to change that
    so it acts like a normal home partition? In other words the individual
    directories and files are owned by the user etc.
