I can't tell from the limited information provided in your first post just what the source of uid 1024 might be. Best practice on OpenBSD is to assign daemons uid numbers below 1000, and user uid numbers of 1000 and higher. If a user is deleted and any owned files remain, ls(1) will report the uid number of the owner, because it doesn't have a userid to map to the file.

When files are created, they are owned by the uid of the process executing the creation. Utilities like install(1) which set an owner when they create a file do so after creation, with chown(2).

Your top post regards NFS. OpenBSD supports NFSv3 and NFSv2 only. Your post above refers to foreign filesystem mounts. Linux foreign filesystem support is limited. EXT4 is read-only, as you have discovered. EXT3 can be used read/write with journaling disabled, while EXT2 can be mounted read/write also.

If OpenBSD is not meeting your requirements, but you still need a BSD, consider one of the others. FreeBSD supports NFSv4, for example.

This information may not be helpful. If so, I'm sorry.

Unfortunately, we aren't sitting over your shoulder and can only provide assistance based on the details you are able to share, and how clearly you articulate those details.
