Package: transmission
Version: 1.91-1
Severity: normal

New version of transmission doesn't preallocate space for files
on disk. It just creates sparse file with .part extension (i knot this .part
can be disabled). But it seems to not preallocate as before
(it was filled with zeros), so it can happen that while downloading it
will fill the my partition.

I'm using zfs-fuse, on which currently filling disk is critical
and can easly lead to crash (i.e. with combination with snapshoting).
Maybe transmission is using fallocate? (i don't know if this is implemented
in fuse and zfs-fuse). Any way if it is not implemneted (and new transmission
is using it), then probably fallocate returns error code,
and there should be fallback to simple zerofilling file.

Thanks.
