Description
In the chunkio code there are system calls to expand files by using the system call "fallocate" that limits usage to certain file system types, this is mainly due to performance reasons.
To support more file systems apart from XFS, ext4 etc, it would be good if there could be an option to use posix_fallocate and let the decision on performance be up to usage and configurable.
