Got this when executing `tail -f install/MYSYBASE.log` for an SAP ASE
message log (a text file) with a Docker container:
```
tail: unrecognized file system type 0x794c7630 for 'install/MYSYBASE.log'.
please report this to bug-coreutils <at> gnu.org. reverting to polling

Thanks for the report.

That docker image seems to use a quite old coreutils version:
'overlayfs' - commonly used with Docker containers - has been added
in version 8.25 which was released in 2016.
Consider upgrading Coreutils if possible - we're at 9.3 currently.

See https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/filesystems.html for
more details.

Have a nice day,
Berny
