Let's add document about FAT's fallocate() behavior to Documents/filesystem/vfat.txt. I.e. it will be truncated evict_inode(). So, user has to assume fallocate() is only valid until last close(), and user has to re-call fallocate() after re-open to make sure fallocate() region. -- OGAWA Hirofumi <hirof...@mail.parknet.co.jp> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
