Hi, the craziness around F11 finished so I am using a little bit of time I have to make one more round of my truncate/fallocate patch (together with mkfile script). I wanted to make my patch working with the Pádraig's fallocate gnulib module and clean up tests (they should all pass now).
I am fully aware that fallocate will probably be changed a little bit, so I will have to fix my patch once more, but I wanted to make this round to fix integration with gnulib. The problem I have is that a) I am really not sure I understand how gnulib modules work (or better to say, I have no clue), b) I am developing this on F11 with ext4 so I am probably really not testing integration with gnulib at all. My main question is that I don't understand how the program should actually use gnulib module. Should I explicitly test in the program for ENOSYS and react automatically (either just print warning and behave as if -a parameter was not used, or write a lot of \0 characters to fill the space) or is this somehow magically done by gnulib module? Could somebody take a look at my patch and help me with the integration of fallocate gnulib module, please?
