From d46a54994e30da03385b82f64eaecffe5c170c92 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Karel Zak Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2009 13:33:27 +0200 Subject: fallocate: new command The fallocate(1) utility is used to preallocate blocks to a file. This can be useful for virtual images, database files, testing, etc. Normally we'd hope that various tools will start using preallocation internally, but until then such a utility may be useful, and could be scripted as well. The original Eric's version is available at: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.util-linux-ng/2490 This version: - checks for fallocate glibc function and kernel syscall - does not provide a fallback and does not call posix_fallocate() - adds long options - uses err.h for errro messages - adds NLS support - cleanups man page Co-Author: Eric Sandeen Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen Signed-off-by: Karel Zak --- AUTHORS | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'AUTHORS') diff --git a/AUTHORS b/AUTHORS index 1aaec44b5..b280bb7bb 100644 --- a/AUTHORS +++ b/AUTHORS @@ -31,6 +31,7 @@ AUTHORS (merged projects & commands): simpleinit: Richard Gooch switch_root: Peter Jones Jeremy Katz + fallocate: Eric Sandeen CONTRIBUTORS: -- cgit v1.2.3-55-g7522
