Hi Carl, Carl Dong skribis: > I’m continuing my testing of the 1.3.0 branch, and I’ve found that coreutil's tests/tail-2/inotify-dir-recreate.sh fails on filesystems where tail detects that it cannot use inotify safely (probably arising out of this check: https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/blob/34a48bf0f0552aaed21a7dba4a5488946a978317/src/tail.c#L2486-L2491). Example for this: overlayfs used by docker/podman/etc. > > The author of tail’s inotify support explains it here: https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/5493#issuecomment-598851397 [...] > Upstream bug filed: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=47940 With people more on more interested in finally getting ‘core-updates’ merged, now’s a good time to look into this bug. :-) In the bug report upstream, you hint at a possible fix. Could you provide a patch for this? Alternatively, if that turns out to be too tricky, can you think of a workaround, such as skipping the offending code during tests? Thanks, Ludo’.
