 Hi.

Take two different hosts, make user with the same name, but different
uids on those hosts.

Take USB stick, format it as ext2 (any filesystem keeping file
permissions will do, actually).

Now, move some files with this USB stick between hosts.

This is exactly the situation that requires chown-after-mount unless
you have root on both hosts.
