Groups are represented by simple numbers. When you do a "ls -l" followed

The translation table from number to the names showed is /etc/group.
Another system may well have another /etc/group.
A analogy exists with SSIDs/RIDs in windows world.


Ok. Sorry I didnt put my questions clear in the first place.

My problem is:

After tar and retar some gids are wrong.

On the source-system the gid of a certain file was 101 and on the
target-system its now 102. This happenend for a unknown number of
files/directories. I've discoverered 4 such problems till now.

That sounds a bit crazy. Like - after repacking on the clone - some damned
script did "reconfigure" the user setup.
Of course, that problem should stay limited to a few places. Watching
logfiles while starting affected services, and chmod'ing erranous groups
will probably still be the fastest workaround.
But then, when you unpack the archive in a safe place and watch the output
of ls -ln for affected folders/files, without booting first - what do you
see?

There was a problem with gid when transferring the files and I need a
cheap way to fix it.

No real cheapie. I remember once makine a script that recursively (on the
source side) grabs acls (getfacl ....) to intermediate *.acl files,
transferring these files over to the corresponding filestructure on the
target machine, then reapplying the acls (setfacl ...) there.
