Surely this is undue pessimism.
There have been many occasions where I've found the Linux kernel
defining support for POSIX behavior with a NOP stub that basically says
"we should make this work one day". I don't know whether the fallocate
code is one of those or a fully implemented call. Based on that
history, until I see a reader that validates the resulting files are
good I have to assume they're not.
