The posix format should really be unlimited. I'm getting slightly different errors when I run tar with a user with large uid: # tar --format=gnu -cf archiv.tar large-uid-dir/ # tar --format=posix -cf archiv.tar large-uid-dir/ tar: value 20000001 out of uid_t range 0..2097151 tar: value 20000001 out of uid_t range 0..2097151 tar: value 20000001 out of uid_t range 0..2097151 tar: value 20000001 out of uid_t range 0..2097151 tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors This problem doesn't appear in Factory tar. Could you test whether a tar package from Factory works for you too? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
