Another surprise awaiting, when I boot up centos5.2 and try to login as ckgan,
an error message shows up:
"User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the defaults session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User $HOME directory must be owned by user and not
writable by other users."
A "ls -dl ckgan" shows that
drwx------- 46 1000 1000 Feb 22 14:33 ckgan
So I have chown ckgan back in Centos in order to login.
I guess I can read about the huge manuals on mount, ls -l, chgrp, uid, but is anyone there could provide a simple solution? I guess I am not the first to want to share partitions across different linux systems. Thanks!
finally i asked someone who knows linux. Basically the uid for ckgan on centos5.2 and f10 are the same, which is 500. For ubuntu, the uid happens to be 1000, but then the default mode is to allow others to read and execute. finally i understood the issues of uid and gid. i hope my experience will be useful to others...
