I've not had a chance to look at this patch, but I tend to agree with
Merlin. My main question is really- would this be useful for extending
*relations*? Apologies if it's already been discussed; I do plan to go
back and read the threads about this more fully, but I wanted to voice
my support for using posix_fallocate, when available, in general.
Thanks,
Stephen
