### coreutils: FAIL: tests/tail-2/inotify-dir-recreate
The inotify-dir-create test fails on "remote" filesystems such as overlayfs
(Docker's default filesystem) due to the filesystem being mistakenly recognized
as non-remote.
A relatively easy workaround to this is to make sure that a somewhat traditional
filesystem is mounted at `/tmp` (where `guix-daemon` performs its builds). For
Docker users, this might mean [using a volume][docker/volumes], [binding
mounting][docker/bind-mnt] from host, or (for those with enough RAM and swap)
[mounting a tmpfs][docker/tmpfs] using the `--tmpfs` flag.
Please see the following links for more details:
- An upstream coreutils bug has been filed: [debbugs#47940](https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=47940)
- A Guix bug detailing the underlying problem has been filed: [guix-issues#47935](https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47935)
- A commit to skip this test in Guix has been merged into the core-updates branch:
