...if doWrite() can do it for us. This avoids the situation
that the file only consists of a file header when calling
doWrite.
A later patch will check for this condition and warn about it,
as with this change it should no longer occour in normal operation.
We were growing the file block-by-block which was pretty
inefficient. We now coalesce all the grows into a single
Ftruncate. Also simplifies the code!
Simplistic benchmark: Before:
$ time truncate -s 1000M foo
real 0m0.568s
After:
$ time truncate -s 1000M foo
real 0m0.205s
tlog is used heavily everywhere and deserves a shorter name.
Renamed using sed magic, without any manual rework:
find * -type f -exec sed -i 's/toggledlog/tlog/g' {} +
