True, that would work. It would require the addition of another mount
option though, so I wonder, is that really needed? What problem with
the current patch would this solve? Is there really a need to save real
ids to the disk with the current uid option and no force? Keep in mind
that udf is meant for removable media where the uids aren't going to
make any sense in another system.


Maybe I'm just being lazy though... I'll dig back into it and try to
submit a new patch with the force option by this weekend.
