I'm guessing that the few people who see the warning are those running
new systemd distros, and that systemd is indeed now making use of the
fallocate support we added into tmpfs for it.)
At least in my case it's nothing that horrible. I'm just setting
browser.cache.disk.parent_directory to /dev/shm in Firefox. And Firefox
does indeed use fallocate on its "disk cache" items.
That fits, and it's very helpful to know - thank you.
