Files without owner in a mounted reiserfs partition

Hello!

I have an arch installation that I use for tests and backup. Today, I wanted to mount it to copy some files from it to a new installation. I mounted it with mount -t reiserfs ... and it worked, but all files have no owner. The owner column shows a uid (1000) for a user that no longer exists. My main user's uid is 1001.

How can I correct this? As far as I know, it can't be done using mount options since the FS is reiserfs.

Thanks,

Gustavo

Re: Files without owner in a mounted reiserfs partition

You should be able to chown/chmod the files to your users. Otherwise, you could try creating a user with that UID and see if those files are then owned by that user.
