Hello all:
I have backed up an ext3 filesystem. Now I would like to mount it on another system where I have different user name. I would like to avoid working as root with the mounted system. Can I define the user id/name (practically my other user name) who should be the owner of the newly mounted files in the case of ext3? I could not find an option for this in the man page. The mounting is not a problem, but the permissions of the directories and files are. The ownership and group is by userid and group id. If the user id of a file on one system is associated with your user name, but on the other system it could be associated with another user or none at all.
