mount output
/dev/xxx0 on /mnt/ext4-xxx0 type ext2 (rw,relatime,seclabel,block_validity,barrier,dax,user_xattr,acl)
dmesg output
[ 2917.044866] EXT4-fs (xxx0): DAX enabled. Warning: EXPERIMENTAL, use at your own risk
[ 2917.044869] EXT4-fs (xxx0): mounting ext2 file system using the ext4 subsystem
...
...
[ 2917.045459] EXT4-fs (xxx0): mounted filesystem without journal. Opts: dax
which subsequently results in failure of fallocate, as the ext2 is not supported fos ext2.
any suggestions/solution would be appreciated.
Provide the type as ext4 while mounting. Or else it will take default type (or) type mentioned in /etc/fstab.
# mount -o dax -t ext4 /dev/xxx0 /mnt/ext4-xxx0
