We switched from
fallocate( to
posix_fallocate()to enhance compatibility to very old kernels (see https://github.com/pi-hole/FTL/issues/977). Unfortunately, this had an unintended side-effect of not catching errors correctly as
errnois not set by
posix_fallocate()` (in contrast to fallocte() who did set it).This PR fixes this by using the return value instead of
errno
which is what you should do withposix_...
routines.
