Package: coreutils Version: 8.23-4 Severity: normal Tags: upstream patch stable
When using an overlayfs (e.g. in docker and other types of containers), "tail -f" will complain with a stupid message like this one every time it is run: tail: unrecognized file system type 0x794c7630 for 'file'. please report this to bug-coreut...@gnu.org. reverting to polling Please backport to stable this upstream fix: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=v8.24-111-g1118f32 I think that a backport is appropriate because people will use for a long time Debian/stable systems in containers and this kind of message is annoying at best and will probably break things too. I also strongly recommend that you just disable this warning message in stable releases. -- ciao, Marco
