                          Is there any difference between mounting a filesystem with gid=501 mount option vs chgrp 501 $fs after it's mounted?

I want to know if mounting with gid mount option buys me anything that chgrp (as root) on the filesystem after mounting doesn't.

I dont think it matters, but this is debugfs on a recent 3.x kernel.
