A simple solution for performance is for tail to scale it's polling. Users won't care much if tail checks every 3 seconds on a file that hasn't change in 30, plus there can be configuration options.
My suggestion is, that once after all this logic is a core component, tail won't need inotify support anymore. -- 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/linux/+bug/882147/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
