[Bug 1339594] Re: usermod don't update the ACL in /media, when a uid has changed

[J N]

Thank you,

For external media, I try to unmount, to log out, to log in,  to re-mount, to restart and many other combinations, but nothing worked.
And it was not the first time that I changed the uid.
I had already done this with Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS 64 bits, and I had not encountered this bug.
Maybe the problem comes from another part of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bits, but it is out of my understanding.

Thanks

Title:
  usermod don't update the ACL in /media, when a uid has changed

Status in “shadow” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  usermod don't update the ACL when the uid of a user have been change.

  This bug happens when I has changed the uid of my login.
  All permitions have been change correctly. 
  But when I plug a USB key, it was impossible to read the key.
  But when I check the permition, everything seems fine.
  But when I check the ACL with getfacl, the permition is written with the old uid of my login

  This is the command line :

  >>$ id onelogin
  uid=1000(onelogin)  .....etc.....

  >>$ sudo usermod -u 5555 onelogin
  >>$  id onelogin
  uid=5555(onelogin)  .....etc.....

  >>$ ls -l  /media/onelogin
  drwx------  6 onelogin onelogin  4096 janv.  1  1970 MY_USB_KEY

  >>$ getfacl  /media/onelogin
  # file: media/onelogin/
  # owner: root
  # group: root
  user::rwx
  user:1000:r-x
  group::---
  mask::r-x
  other::---

  
  To correct it, I use this: 

  >>$  sudo setfacl -m user:onelogin:rx /media/onelogin/
  >>$  sudo setfacl -x user:1000 /media/onelogin/
  >>$  getfacl  /media/onelogin
  # file: media/onelogin/
  # owner: root
  # group: root
  user::rwx
  user:onelogin:r-x
  group::---
  mask::r-x
  other::---

  
  But pearhap there are some other place where I need to update manually the ACL permition.
