Could you clarify whether the rhel7 version of tail
is too slow when showing updates to the file,
or misses updates to the file entirely.
There have been various fixes to tail, so it
would be worth verifying how the latest behaves, like:
wget https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/coreutils/coreutils-8.29.tar.xz
tar -xf coreutils-8.29.tar.xz
cd coreutils-8.29
./configure --quiet && make -j$(nproc)
src/tail -f /media/samba/test.file
cheers,
Pádraig
