GNU Coreutils - Supported Filesystems

Overview

GNU coreutils programs tail(1) and stat(1) contain list of file systems in order to display their names and implement efficient file monitoring with tail -f.

Under certain conditions tail emits the following warning:
tail: unrecognized file system type 0x794c7630 for 'somefile.log'. please
report this to bug-coreutils@gnu.org. reverting to polling

This warning is harmless - tail still operates correctly on your filesystem, although not as efficient as possible.

Two possible reasons for the warning:
  1. The filesystem is unknown and its identifier is not yet in coreutils.
  2. The filesystem is known, but your installed coreutils version is too old

The list below details all currently supported filesystems. If you find the identifier in the list, it means the filesystem is already configured in coreutils, and it is likely the version you are using is too old. To find the installed version run tail --version.

If the identifier is not found in the list, please report it to coreutils@gnu.org, with additional information about the operating system and the filesystem (e.g. output of uname -a and df -T .).
