[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Good afternoon,
Could you please add the following line to the src/fs.h file :
# define S_MAGIC_GPFS 0x47504653
and add the following line to the switch() of the fremote() function in
the src/tail.c file, in the coreutils package :
case S_MAGIC_GPFS:
or do you prefer me to send you a patch for these files ? (I'm not used to
that yet, but I'll do it if you need it).
These addings fix a "tail -f" problem with the GPFS filesystem.
I'm waiting for your reply.
Thank you for your help regarding this fix.
Kind regards,
Martial Bornet

Since you took the time to identify the fix
I'm applying this in your name.
Please advise if you'd like a different email address.
Note one can work around the issue without a patch
for the moment by using the currently undocumented ---disable-inotify option.
cheers,
Pádraig.

Thank you for your quick answer.
I had discovered the ---disable-inotify option, but some users may have
scripts they don't want to modify, so we'd prefer not to use it.
Thanks a lot anyway.
Best regards.
