This is a regression in tar.
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?
