Cannot create a user with custom UID on docker

[bernadinm]

I have a docker file that pulls from ubuntu:14.04 and there is a step that creates a user with a custom UID that matches the host system.

When this runs on my laptop, my virtual box machine runs out of space. When I runs it against a baremetal server with enough space, it runs forever.

For example:
Step 16 : RUN useradd -u 2147483632 mapr
---> Running in 62d81744c3e6

Does anyone know whats happening and why it does not complete in seconds?
