Hi all,

I=E2=80=99m continuing my testing of the 1.3.0 branch, and I=E2=80=99ve =
found that coreutil's tests/tail-2/inotify-dir-recreate.sh fails on =
filesystems where tail detects that it cannot use inotify safely =
(probably arising out of this check: =
https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/blob/34a48bf0f0552aaed21a7dba4a5488=
946a978317/src/tail.c#L2486-L2491). Example for this: overlayfs used by =
docker/podman/etc.

The author of tail=E2=80=99s inotify support explains it here: =
https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/5493#issuecomment-598851397

A quick and easy fix for v1.3.0 may be to just disable =
tests/tail-2/inotify-dir-recreate.sh :-)

Cheers,
Carl Dong
