Hi all,

NOTE: you can also be a bit faster if you test just single test, see
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp#shortcut-to-running-a-single-test
(not compiling and installing whole LTP)

$ cd testcases/kernel/syscalls/fallocate/
$ make -j`nproc`
$ sudo ./fallocate05

NOTE: It detect kernel filesystem support and presence of mkfs.xxx.
Thus other way to limit filesystem is to rename mkfs.xxx of other filesystems
(in case you test LTP from package and don't want / cannot compile and can
modify root filesystem).

Kind regards,
