Topic

Updated coreutils packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The coreutils package contains the core GNU utilities. It is a combination of
the old GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages.

This update fixes the following bug:

The "tail -f" command uses inotify for tracking changes in files. For remote
file systems [-/,] inotify is not available. In the case of unknown file
systems, for example panasas, "tail -f" failed instead of falling back to
polling. Now, the list of known file systems is updated and "tail -f" is
modified to fall back into polling for unknown file systems. As result, "tail

  • f" now works correctly, even on unknown file systems, with only a warning about

the unknown file system and a fall back to polling. (#924711)

Users of coreutils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat
Network to apply this update are available at
