Problem with "tail -f" on GPFS filesystem // coreutils package |
|
Date: |
Thu, 20 Oct 2011 16:52:15 +0200 |
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

That was actually done in the recently released 8.13

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.
