https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=275465 Daniel Tameling <tamelingdaniel@gmail.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |tamelingdaniel@gmail.com --- Comment #2 from Daniel Tameling <tamelingdaniel@gmail.com> --- I think that the kevent in forward.c doesn't return for the truncation itself but only after the truncation + write. At that point, the code can't figure out whether it needs to reread the entire file. It just sees the difference in file sizes. See for example: $ touch test.txt $ echo -n 123 > test.txt $ echo -n 456789 > test.txt $ echo -n a > test.txt $ echo -n bcdef > test.txt gives the output $ tail -f test.txt 123789cdef -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
