Unrecognized mount option "uid=1001" or missing value

[Asif Iqbal]

I am trying to mount a ext4 fs and keep the ownership to a user with
uid=1001 and it is failing

Here is the mount point

root at splunk:~# ls -ld /opt/splunk
drwxr-xr-x 2 splunk splunk 4096 2011-01-31 11:19 /opt/splunk

I am going to mount /dev/sdc1

root at splunk:~# fdisk -l /dev/sdc

Disk /dev/sdc: 31.0 GB, 30999052288 bytes

       missing codepage or helper program, or other error

       dmesg | tail  or so

mount as root works just fine, but the ownership changes to root

root at splunk:~# mount /dev/sdc1 /opt/splunk
root at splunk:~# ls -ld /opt/splunk
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2011-01-31 11:12 /opt/splunk

so the fs is OK.

any idea how to mount it with ownership to a user instead of root
