Re: nfs - change uid / gid of the mounted FS I thought this was possible by remapping uids on the client side. My work-mate told me that it's possible in nfsv4, in linux (Ubuntu/debian) the remapping needs to be made in /etc/idmapd.conf.
The UID of the mount is 1004, which maps to a rdebXXX account on the destination server. I'm pretty sure this is by accident, as the boxes/accounts where created at separate times manually. The idmapd is running and idmap.conf has the default entries of: Nobody-User = nobody Nobody-Group = nogroup; Notes I cannot change UID of the destination nfs - change uid / gid of the mounted FS - Hewlett Packard
