[Discuss] mount ext4 partition in fstab with different gid

[brendan]

i don't believe there is any way to dynamically remap gids when mounting
(i don't see any mount options to do so), so i'd suggest you'd be best
off just changing /etc/group on one of the two OSes so that the groups
match up.

you might have some permission problems after you change the gid for the
group name, but that should be the only real impact.
