I looked at this one a bit last night, and talked to Dave about it; its' different
handling with DAX w.r.t. preallocation; we go down a path which actually tries to
re-reserve the disk blocks it'll be writing to, even though they're already allocated.

If the disk isn't full, I guess it doesn't matter, but this test explicitly tests ENOSPC.

Working on better understanding this path to see if I can fix it (unless Dave beats me
to it ...)
