Proposed solution

According to the man pages of posix_fallocate, it returns zero on
success or an error number on failure; however,  errno is not set
on failure. If the kernel or a library other than glibc does not
support the function for example, EOPNOTSUPP will be returned and
the error will not be handled properly with original code.

Please see proposed solution attached.
