Tar extract: remap uid gid ?
OK, so simple question here:
Is there anyway to REMAP, while extracting with tar, specific uid's and gid's on extracted files ?
Background: The usual transfer between two servers with same literals username's names, but with different gid and uid. I would like, for example, files owned by user with uid 800 to be remapped to user with uid 900. Is that even possible in line with GNU tar ?
I would guess if this is not possible, one option would be to find those files with the specific uid and change them.
Thanks!
