The following command fails on an NFS mountpoint:
9ae3a8
9ae3a8
  $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=falloc disk.img 262144
9ae3a8
  Formatting 'disk.img', fmt=qcow2 size=262144 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 preallocation='falloc' lazy_refcounts=off
9ae3a8
  qemu-img: disk.img: Could not preallocate data for the new file: Bad file descriptor
9ae3a8
9ae3a8
The reason turns out to be because NFS doesn't support the
9ae3a8
posix_fallocate call.  glibc emulates it instead.  However glibc's
9ae3a8
emulation involves using the pread(2) syscall.  The pread syscall
9ae3a8
fails with EBADF if the file descriptor is opened without the read
9ae3a8
open-flag (ie. open (..., O_WRONLY)).
9ae3a8
9ae3a8
I contacted glibc upstream about this, and their response is here:
9ae3a8

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1265196#c9
9ae3a8
9ae3a8
There are two possible fixes: Use Linux fallocate directly, or (this
9ae3a8
fix) work around the problem in qemu by opening the file with O_RDWR
9ae3a8
instead of O_WRONLY.
