Possible Values: ``none``, ``prealloc``, ``trunc``, ``falloc`` Possible Values: ``none``, ``prealloc``, ``trunc``, ``falloc``
Default: ``prealloc`` Default: ``prealloc``

what it actually does is that it sets file length metadata in
file system, and does not allocate disk space at all. This means
that it does not help avoiding fragmentation.
