Dear xfstest community, I noticed that a number of tests are developed and utilized linux's fallocate() function call (to preallocate space, punch holes etc). I was hoping that somebody could be kind enough to provide some non-xfstest examples of applications that use this function. I'm aware that Microsoft's MSSQL running on linux would make fallocate() calls to preallocate space (but it doesn't punch any holes for instance). But I wonder if there are others? Thank you for your feedback. PS: please cc me in the reply as I'm not a subscriber.
