Hi,
as reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1104244 ,
Veritas Clustered Filesystem ( vxfs ) has issues with inotify support -
thus tail --follow doesn't work properly. Can you please add this
filesystem to the list of remote filesystem?

TIA.

Greetings,
         Ondrej Vasik

Minor note: "VXCFS" looks like a typo at first glance.
What about:
  s/VXCFS variant/clustered variant (VXCFS)/
?

Otherwise +1.

Thanks & have a nice day,
