tail -f works because it checks the file every sleep-interval seconds (defaults to 1 second). tail -f -s 10 /var/log/syslog gives a burst of new lines every 10 seconds.
With this test I see 10-seconds bursts with linux 4.10.0 and 4.13.0 indicating this bug isn't fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882147 Title: overlayfs does not implement inotify interfaces correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/882147/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
