No, not in the superblock, in the uid/gid fields of the top directory,
which is after all, just a directory, except the .. points to itself. It
makes sense. If the directory is owned by user/group before being
mounted it should continue to be that way after mounting. Except for
stupid FS like FAT which have to have ownership faked.
