My vague recollection is very large user ids in a Mac networked environment. But the ustar format allows 8 octets for user ids. https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/pax.html#tag_20_92_13_06 That may not have tripped the switch to pax except that pax is the POSIX name of the command. Looking for the RHEL 8 release notes about this, I found https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html-single/considerations_in_adopting_rhel_8/index which indicates it moved to the "CodeReady Linux Builder repository" along with a number of other packages. That is in the PowerTools repo for CentOS. https://serverfault.com/questions/997896/how-to-enable-powertools-repository-in-centos-8 Hopefully it works. Jeff will let us know. --joel > Chris >
