Sorry for ignoring this thread and then chiming in late... but at least for myself, "truncate --allocate" is a bit confusing. At least in the filesystem world, truncating and allocating are pretty much orthogonal, so making a tool called "truncate" which has an "allocate" mode is a bit odd to me. It'd be kind of like having a "ls --du" command option. I'd personally rather see a separate, dedicated fallocate tool ... but maybe that's just me. You might run it by the fsdevel-list, or maybe I've bike-shedded enough already. :) thanks, -Eric _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
