 contains the system.

You can chown the device for the drive.  But this is mainly usefully for 
removable drives.  For mounted file systems, you have to change the 
options in /etc/fstab to change the owner.  This is usefully for file 
systems that do not support file ownership.

One thing to be aware of - msec will change back the ownership of some 
files/directories, depending on the security settings.
