Hi Marc,

This one is a failure during the cleanup after the actual test ...

... and it reminds me to a similar issue we recently fixed
for another test:
  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2013-02/msg00039.html

I suspect you're on NFS, and for some reason, the cleanup fails.
The reason could be that the tail process didn't exit yet.

Does the following additional 'wait' help?

diff --git a/tests/tail-2/F-vs-missing.sh b/tests/tail-2/F-vs-missing.sh

same as above.

Somehow, preserving fails on that file system with
  "Operation not applicable".
What file system type is it?
You're not on MVFS, i.e. in a ClearCase dynamic view, are you?
(BTW, I've never seen so many ClearCase-VOBs being cross-mounted,
~2000, wow!)

This one is also strange, and it indicates again that
you're maybe using a strange file system type:

Have a nice day,
