Good evening all,

We are running grid jobs which write output and log files to OrangeFS.  If we 
tail the log file on the compute node running the grid job (using tail –f or 
tailf) updates are seen in realtime, presumably due to the Linux inotify 
backend.  If we tail the log file from any other OrangeFS client the last 10 
lines show and no further updates are seen.  I've tried many tail configuration 
options including –F, --max-unchanged-stats, -s, etc. with no effect.

Any thoughts on tailing a log file in realtime (or near realtime) from another 
OrangeFS client?  The only thing that came to mind was to use watch, e.g. 
'watch tail test.log'.

Cheers,
--Scott
