#6285: Implement posix_fallocate() ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: korli | Owner: nobody Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: R1 Component: System/POSIX | Version: R1/alpha2 Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Has a Patch: 0 Platform: All | Blocking: ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Comment (by axeld): a. it does not cut the file if the size given is smaller than the file size. b. it actually allocates the storage, ie. makes sparse files no longer sparse in that region. While a.) could be solved by the caller, b.) needs to have file system support. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6285#comment:3> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
