.SH NAME
|
||||||
|
\fBfallocate\fR - preallocate blocks to a file
|
||||||
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||||||
|
\fBfallocate\fR [\fB-o\fI offset\fR] \fB-l\fR \fIlength file\fR
|
||||||
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||||
|
\fBfallocate\fR preallocates blocks to a file. Only certain filesystems
|
||||||
|
support the fallocate system call. This is a very fast operation to allocate
|
||||||
|
uninitialized blocks in a file without doing any IO.
|
||||||
|
As of the Linux Kernel v2.6.31, the fallocate system call is supported
|
||||||
|
by the btrfs, ext4, ocfs2, and xfs filesystems.
|
||||||
|
