Indeed, overlayfs - commonly used with Docker containers - has been added
in version 8.25. We're currently at 8.32.

See https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/filesystems.html for
more details.

I'm hereby closing this as not a bug in our bug tracker.

Regarding this: this is not related with the error diagnostic from tail(1),
thus we can not help you here at the GNU coreutils mailing list.
Better report this at a Xeoma mailing list (or whatever their support channel is).

Have a nice day,
