Kernel 2.2.x and ext2 fs

Hi all,

I had an Alpha164LX, kernal 2.0.x does not support
large UID > 65535, so I went a head and did some
test on kernel 2.2.x

I did the following:

$ mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/test
$ touch /mnt/test/test.txt
$ chown 655350 /mnt/test/test.txt

and "ls -l" shows:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 655350 root 0 Mar 9 21:26 test.txt

Then, I do:

$ mount -o remount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/test
$ ls -l
-rw-rw-r-- 1 65526 root 0 Mar 9 21:26 test

See, as long as I did not remount the harddrive, the
UID will be correct.

Is this the kernel or fs-tools problem?

Regards,
Tom
