| Event Id | 6 |
| Source | Interix |
| Description | A user or group id with a value too large to make into a uid_t has been encountered, and converted into a reserved UID value. See the Interix documentation for how to deal with this situation. The internal UID is 0x%1%2. |
| Event Information | According to Microsoft: CAUSE: Both of these event ID messages may occur if you use either a command line, the Tar.exe utility, or a pax command to input a User identification (UID) or group identification (GID) value from outside the current group of domains as data. If this situation occurs, the event ID 5 message (which is a warning message) occurs if there is enough space between domain offset values message (see the "More Information" section for more details). The event ID 6 message occurs if there is not enough space between domain offset values. In this situation, the subsystem cannot create a unique UID for this user.RESOLUTION: You can ignore both of these event ID messages. You can use the psxoffset -uid command to determine whether the UID exists. If the UID does not exist, you do not have to take any action. |
