comment Install Win8 After Ubuntu
@trigun0x2 Theoretically, the installer should contain a tool, which allows you to edit partitions. Windows 7 used to have 2 partitions, main and recovery as here: superuser.com/questions/330178/…. If Win8 works the same way, probably you should assign two NTFS-formatted primary partitions for Windows 8. (I've never seen Windows8 installer and can only imagine, what that message might mean, sorry).

comment What happens to UIDs upon mount of file system
Thank you, slm, very helpful and detailed answer. So, mostly when we deal with portable media, such as flash drives and CDs, their file systems just don't contain UIDs at all, that's why I've never stumbled upon this problem.

comment What happens to UIDs upon mount of file system
@BatchyX I've expressed my thoughts in wrong words, sorry. Fixed it. Normal users can mount at least if it's allowed in /etc/fstab. Hm, google doesn't answer, what is cap_mount. What are cap_mount priviledges?

comment What kernel module function gets called, when I say “cat myfile > /dev/sda”
@Igeorget, @Ulrich Dangel Thanks a lot guys! So, file_operations is just a subset of the system calls, which I completely overlooked :(. E.g. if I've typed cat image.iso > myfile and myfile belonged to ext3 filesystem, the do_sync_write would've been called from here: lxr.free-electrons.com/source/fs/ext3/file.c?

comment What is a process GID and what purpose does it serve?
When apache reads your script and executes it, it is a process, which is run by a certain user and group. These user and group determine, whether apache is allowed to read your script or not. When you manually try to execute a script from bash, it is bash process user and group, what determines, if you're allowed or not to run the script. Bash is just a process run under your user and group. So, the ownership terms are applied to processes, when they are trying to access files.

comment Change GTK themes on the fly
In gtk2 there were some functions, capable of rereading .rc files with themes, but I don't know, how to invoke them: gtk.org/api/2.6/gtk/gtk-Resource-Files.html#gtk-rc-reparse-all.
