ACFS Global File System and the 'tail -f' Command

edited Jan 24, 2016 4:54AM in Storage Management (ASM ACFS DNFS ODM) (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered

We have an ACFS global file system (11gR2 11.2.0.3.8)  which according to acfsutil is healthy. 

The problem exists on several 2-node clusters. 

OS:  RHEL 6.3

Problem:   The tail -f command does not follow a file in the global file system if the file is being populated on the other node.  Tail w/o the -f works.  It sees the updates to the file from the other node.   Tail -f does work for files being populated on the local node.  This can lead to confusion to those new to the problem. 

I have tried several options to the tail command but to no avail.

Howdy, Stranger!
