reports that for FreeBSD 15:

) posix_fallocate can and does return EOPNOTSUPP, at least with zfs involved

ZFS will never know how to do this, as I understand it. (Some hint it
may be possible
someday, if the reservation system in ZFS is improved.)

) the posix_fallocate man page does not document EOPNOTSUPP (not MFC'd?
not in a stable/15 that I checked as well)

Yea, I suppose this should be in the man page.
Any volunteers for a man page patch?

) there is at least 1 gcc* for which its cc1plus can apparently get
SIGSEGV as a consequence
