I doubt that it can be done - Linux was build as multiuser system to avoid security and other issues which present in m$. So making a singleuser system is equal with building a m$ clone. And I doubt we need it. But it doesn't mean that mouning/umounting can't be done normally. Larry Garfield was right - 1970s are over.
