Older linuxes as e.g. SLES 11 SP4 does not return EOPNOTSUPP for not supported filesystem. Instead it returns the generic -1 failure and sets the errno with description Operation not supported. This fix does instead check if the operation failes with a non zero return value and in such cases revert to posix_fallocate. Other errors as e.g. ENOSPC will hence rely to be returned by the call to posix_fallocate. Signed-off-by: sirwio <sirwio@hotmail.com>
