Error: file_preallocate in logs

[Tom Talpey]

What OS are you running doveadm on, and what type of NFS server is
hosting the storage?

One possibility on (much) older NFS servers is that some of them refuse
to extend a file when setting the file length to a larger value than
the current size. However, that's a really obsolete behavior, not seen
on anything in the decade, and isn't likely to return OPNOTSUPP.
