Package: src:linux Followup-For: Bug #850884
Hi, this is still an issue on current kernels. I am running Debian Live CD with 4.18.10, and tail -f, uses pooling on root overlayfs, instead of inotify (verified using strace). It is not a huge issue for tail itself, but for some other apps it can. Thanks. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/32 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
