Hi Jeff,

Yep, this issue was spotted on another system in the last week, it's due to a fallocate() option not being supported by some kernels on some file systems. To workaround this, I added two layers of emulation in an abstraction layer to fallocate to resolve this:

    shim: add emulation for failed fallocate(2)

    Add two layers of workarounds for fallocate() failures: firstly
    try zero mode flags if mode causes EOPNOTSUPP, secondly, use
    slow emulation mode if fallocate with zero flag fails with EOPNOTSUPP.

Can you try the latest release, V0.07.20 that has that fix.
