Hi Ram, this is something we should be able to fix somehow. There is a similar bug reported for this already: fallocate + punch_hole used instead of fallocate + zero_range in glfs_discard() https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1327857 From a cursory look, libgfapi supports punching holes through the glfs_discard() function. FUSE also has an implementation for fallocate(). How are you testing this, and what is the behaviour you see? Thanks, Niels
