FreeBSD does. See mount_msdos(8). There are two different ways to
specify the owner of an MSDOS filesystem. One is to explicitly provide
'-u' and/or '-g' arguments to the mount command. The second is the
default when no such arguments are provided. The filesystem is given
the same ownership as the directory the filesystem is mounted on.
