    I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 in a VM, and I'm running into an issue when I try to untar a tar file as root to a shared folder (Mac).

    tar: platform/a.out: Cannot change ownership to uid 0, gid 0: Operation not permitted

    This only fails if I try to do this as root, but works fine if executed as the default 'parallels' user.

    Any idea how to resolve this?
