You can create files/folders with users if they « own » the HDD. But
then, another user won't be able to do so.

I tried to do what you want some time ago, but all I could find was to
create several user owned directories on the HDD, then each user could
write in his folder.

If there's a way to have the « FAT behavior », I'd like to know it as
much as you :)
