When I did an upgrade from CentOS 5 to 7 I found that even a standard
install of CentOS 7 already used a number of GIDs in the range of 500-999.
In the end I decided to rearrange all users to new UIDs/GIDs and converted
all storage with a script.
The tricky part was to find a way which doesn't take ages to convert
storage. Doing so with find.... wasn't possible for performance reasons.
Attached script was used to convert every user. It was the fastest way I
found. The script was started in background for every user.

Simon
