bug#31184: tail -f on Network FS not refreshing as soon as the file is changed.

[Jewsco Pius Jacquez]

Yes, it didn't work either.

The closest is this one(below), but still the update is every second only.
# tail --follow=name --max-unchanged-stats=1 --sleep-interval=1  
/media/samba/test.file


Thanks,
Jewsco

Hi Jewsco,

did you already try the -F option instead of -f?

Thanks,
Erik
