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 --- sys-utils/.gitignore | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'sys-utils/.gitignore') diff --git a/sys-utils/.gitignore b/sys-utils/.gitignore index 6f0be710f..2cc2deef3 100644 --- a/sys-utils/.gitignore +++ b/sys-utils/.gitignore @@ -2,6 +2,7 @@ arch ctrlaltdel cytune dmesg +fallocate flock i386.8 ia64.8 -- cgit v1.2.3-55-g7522
