Re: adding linux syscall fallocate

Hi Jaromir,

Indeed. That's bad news but thanks for your answer! I've even found this: https://wiki.netbsd.org/projects/project/ffs-fallocate/
Are there any details for this project besides that page? I don't know anything about NetBSD internals though if it's not meant for gurus, I'd have a look at it and give it a try.

Best regards,
r0ller

fallocate VOP is not implemented for FFS:

> grep fallocate *
ffs_vnops.c: { &vop_fallocate_desc, genfs_eopnotsupp }, /* fallocate */
ffs_vnops.c: { &vop_fallocate_desc, spec_fallocate }, /* fallocate */
ffs_vnops.c: { &vop_fallocate_desc, vn_fifo_bypass }, /* fallocate */
