      2 .SH NAME
      3 \fBfallocate\fR - Preallocate blocks to a file
      4 .SH SYNOPSIS
      5 \fBfallocate\fR [\fB-o\fI offset\fR] \fB-l\fR \fIlength file\fR
      6 .SH DESCRIPTION
      7 \fBfallocate\fR preallocates blocks to a file.  Only certain filesystems
      8 support the fallocate system call.  This is a very fast operation to allocate
      9 uninitialized blocks in a file without doing any IO.
     10 As  of the Linux kernel v2.6.31, the fallocate system call is supported
     11 by the btrfs, ext4, ocfs2, and xfs filesystems.
