uuid issue?

[Jongi]

you will see form my sig that i run a number of distros. in all the other distros the initial user has a UUID of 1000. Fedora does not do this. In any event. After installing F12 I used usermod to change the UUID of the user to 1000.

So for the other 3 distros, the username is also jongi. There is an LVM partition I am able to write to as jongi in the other 3 distros. Yet I can't in F12.

Debian

UUID=0a18d897-0aab-4098-a711-12f5f8c943c9               /data/ext       ext4            relatime,exec  0 0

Fedora

UUID=0a18d897-0aab-4098-a711-12f5f8c943c9               /data/ext       ext4            relatime,exec  0 0

And it is not an fsck issue. What could be the problem?

Edit: No. I showed the fstab entry to show that two different distros have the same fstab entries (in this case the one which is causing the issue). Both have the same uuid.

In fact the fstab entry in ArchLinux, OpenSUSE, Debian, and Fedora is the same. All users are called jongi. All users have 1000 as uuid, with the exception that Fedora had to be changed to 1000 (from 500?).

EDIT2: The above edit was to a post that has since been deleted.

I was thinking you were confusing blkid UUID's with user uid's so I deleted my first reply once I figured out you were posting about something else.

RedHat has a quirk that they like to start the user ids at 500 and other Linux distributions may start at 1000 or whatever. I think you can edit the /etc/login.defs file to change UID_MIN to 1000 if you don't like that but that seems to only affect groupadd and not the system-config-users tool.
