Hello

When I tail a logfile that’s located on a VirtualBox guest shared folder than I get this message:

tail: unrecognized file system type 0x786f4256 for ‘oracle_12102_PSU190716-20200618_174315.log’. please report this to [email-masked]. reverting to polling

My setup:
VirtualBox Guest: Oracle Linux 7.x
VirtualBox Host: Windows 10

A directory on the host is mapped into the guest via VirtualBox shared folder and mounted in the guest.
The process that writes to the logfile runs inside the guest. And tail that follows the logfile also runs inside the guest.

Regards
