change UID+GID on target system?

The problem is that you have different UIDs on different systems but
are trying to use the same file system.  The files within the file
system have the ownerships stored only by the numeric UIDs not the
user names.  If you then take that file system and connect it to
another system that has a different user<>UID mapping it will not be
correct (this even applies to NFS).

The solution is to use the same user<>UID mappings on all systems or
in the case of a removable drive to use a file system that does not
store ownerships so that the mount options can specify a file system
wide owner.
