Subject: tail: no longer warn about unrecognized file systems
X-Git-Tag: v8.25~128
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e6b3af647dd5611489b858a3fe14f0e3b1056ce2;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

tail: no longer warn about unrecognized file systems

* src/tail.c (fremote): No longer prompt the user to email
with the unrecognized file system constant, since we have
process in place to sync periodically with the latest Linux
constants, and the fall back polling mode is still fully functional.
