Thanks, this is already fixed in coreutils >= 8.25 ... and we're now
at 8.28 for a while.

Have a nice day,

 Interesting... Happening on a clean node-based Docker image after apt-get
update 🤔

I'll check if I can fix it somehow, was quite weird though (note that only
tail -f was affected, and polling didn't actually update anything (watch
tail did show updates)

Yes, this is only a warning; 'tail-f' still works when falling back to
polling, of course, but not as efficiently as it would do with the
inotify interface the kernel provides.

We had this warning to be prompted by users about new file system types,
but as now we regularly update to the list in the kernel sources, we
removed the warning.

Have a nice day,
Berny
