Doc Text:	The Oracle ACFS is now included among known file systems Previously, the Oracle ASM Cluster file system (ACFS) was not listed among known file systems for the stat and tail utilities. As a consequence, the tail utility printed an error message stating that the file system was not recognized. ACFS has been added to the list of known file systems, and the error message no longer appears in the described situation. In addition, other file systems recognized by upstream have been added to the list of known file systems as well, namely `acfs`, `bpf_fs`, `btrfs_test`, `configfs`, `efivarfs`, `exofs`, `f2fs`, `hfs+`, `hfsx`, `hostfs`, `ibrix`, `logfs`, `nsfs`, `overlayfs`, `smackfs`, `snfs`, `tracefs`, and `ubifs`.

Comment 1 Ondrej Vasik 2015-11-11 15:13:25 UTC

As an upstream report reference - debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=21876 ... with http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?msg=10;filename=stat-new-fs-types.patch;att=1;bug=21876 as a patch by Pádraig Brady. Thanks Pádraig.

Comment 2 Pádraig Brady 2015-11-11 15:15:26 UTC

Note this file system is out of kernel tree.
Also newer versions of tail will not warn about this.
In any case this definition has been added to upstream at:
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=v8.24-83-g0daa359

Comment 9 Branislav Blaškovič 2016-03-29 12:58:43 UTC

Patch coreutils-8.4-tailstatnewfs2.patch is present in coreutils-8.4-42.el6.
This patch introduces all new FS recognized by upstream.
