I don't know about Windows, but on Linux you can supply parameters to
mount command (in /etc/fstab) to allow only a single user/group to
access the entire partition. In most cases it is quite enough to just
give the "firebird" user full access, and some "fatusers" group
read-only access. Put all the Linux users that need access in "fatusers"
group, and you're done.
