[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I repeatedly receive this error message when trying to run 'tail -f' under
Win10 bash against a log file being written by R:

.........................................................................................................
tail: unrecognized file system type 0x53464846 for
‘SJCAirplaneComplaint.rout’. please report this to bug-coreutils <at> gnu.org.
reverting to polling
