    Description

      I was testing "fallocate" as a fast way to allocate space in the file, but I found that it only allocated space on the first (initialized) component of a PFL file. It does not allocate space for any of the later components if those components are uninitialized.

      # lfs setstripe -E1M -c1 -E16M -c3 -Eeof -c 4 /mnt/testfs/pflfile
      # ls -l /mnt/testfs/pflfile
      0 -rw-r--r--. 1 root 0 Dec  5 13:24 /mnt/testfs/pflfile
      # fallocate -l $((1048576 * 1024)) /mnt/testfs/pflfile
      # ls -l /mnt/testfs/pflfile
      1024 -rw-r--r--. 1 root 1048576 Dec  5 13:33 /mnt/testfs/pflfile
      # lfs getstripe /mnt/testfs/pflfile
      /mnt/testfs/pflfile

      If the file is truncated, the later components are initialized:

      If the fallocate is run again, this time the space is allocated:
