Description Pádraig Brady 2009-05-12 21:37:14 UTC 
The fallocate() description still says that glibc doesn't provide an interface, whereas it now does. Also the header dependencies are incorrect and should be (I think):

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <linux/falloc.h>
Comment 1 Pádraig Brady 2009-05-28 12:58:33 UTC 
Note man-pages-3.21 that are not yet in fedora do have the interface described as I would expect.

http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man2/fallocate.2.html

So I'm closing this bug with the expectation this upgrade will happen soon.
