Well yes and no. The standard mount command mounts the USB
system (with a jfs file system) according to the uid, and
gid of the system!
There seems to be a patch for extX system which allows to
specify the uid and gid of the usb disc.

alas as far as I can seems not to be standard, yet.

Right but I consider this solution as being cumbersome
especially if there are a lot of files.
Right..."cumbersome"...
You only ever need to do it ONCE.
But then, you would know better - which is why you are asking for help
with the problem, right?

No. I need to do this every time I copy from
Laptop1-->USB-->Latop2
And then when I copy back
Laptop2-->USB-->Laptop1

If you make sure your UID is the same on both machines, you shouldn't need to do that at all.

Actually, unless this memory stick has been reformatted with a *nix
filesystem, it should not have a UID or username on it at all. Such
things just don't exist in a fat filesystem, which is what's on all of
them I've ever seen in stores.
So unless it has been reformatted in say ext2, there's something more
you should be telling us.

Well of course, I said this is my first mail, the stick has
been reformatted with a jfs file system. I did that because
this way rsync is much more efficient!

Then you really do have a problem. It has solutions, none of which is
perfect. For example
- change your UID to agree across all systems
- get familiar with udev rules and write your own
- try the 'user' flag in the /etc/fdisk entries
- change permissions on all files and directories on the stick, and
keep changing them as rsync changes things.

grsync has the options:
o 'Preserve owner/Preserve group/...permissions/...time.
o 'Advanced Options|Don't map uid/gid values'.
o 'Extra options' allows you to execute a command before/after rsync &
'Run as superuser'.
You can save the session so that you simply call up the same one next
time, click & go.
$ sudo apt-get install grsync
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync
[screenshot down below '5. Basic Options']
http://www.opbyte.it/grsync/
And of course, grysync is a gui frontend for rsync. So rsync will also
have those options:
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/rsync.1.html
--numeric-ids
With this option rsync will transfer numeric group and user IDs
rather than using user and group names and mapping them at both
ends.
By default rsync will use the username and groupname to
determine what ownership to give files. The special uid 0 and
the special group 0 are never mapped via user/group names even
if the --numeric-ids option is not specified.
If a user or group has no name on the source system or it has no
match on the destination system, then the numeric ID from the
source system is used instead. See also the comments on the
“use chroot” setting in the rsyncd.conf manpage for information
on how the chroot setting affects rsync’s ability to look up the
names of the users and groups and what you can do about it.

Nice!
Any idea how that might be accomplished w/rsync via the cli?
