Dear tail developers,
I get this message when doing tail -f on a file which is stored on ZFS.
tail: unrecognized file system type 0x2fc12fc1 for `messages'. please
report this to address@hidden reverting to polling
[I normally wouldn't report this as it's an unusual filesystem and tail
-f still works fine, but I'll do it as it asked me to :]
Best wishes,
Marius Bjørnstad

Thank you for reporting that. That was addressed not long ago.
Those changes will be in the upcoming coreutils-8.20 release:
[so I've marked the your auto-created issue as "done"]
From

** Improvements
...
stat and tail know about ZFS, VZFS and VMHGFS. stat -f --format=%T now
reports the file system type, and tail -f now uses inotify for files on
ZFS and VZFS file systems, rather than the default (for unknown file
system types) of issuing a warning and reverting to polling. tail -f
still uses polling for files on VMHGFS file systems.
