The fallocate operation is failing on e.g. ext3 and reiserf filesystems.
By falling back to use posix_fallocate if the fallocate function call fails
one can keep the performance as is for fallocate supported filesystems but
still support legacy filesystems as ext3 and reiserfs.
This would resolve issue: #46
