If I understand the fallocate issue correctly, it essentially ignores
the offset, so "fallocate -o 0 -l LENGTH" fails if
LENGTH + CURRENT_LENGTH > FREE_SPACE
But if you have 300GB available, that'd mean you have a file that's
close to that size already. But is that likely for WhatsApp?

doing anything particularly weird / wrong with fallocate().
