OK, that's clearer. But it still doesn't clarify why you think this is a
Cygwin issue. Cygwin does not provide an ext2/ext3 or cramfs file system
driver. It is not (nor does it really need to be) a SAMBA server. So
nothing about this question appears to be Cygwin-related and as such is
off-topic for this list. You should consider asking your question in a
Windows forum.
FWIW, Explore2fs provides the UID/GID from Linux, if that's helpful to
you.
