Oh, interesting. I didn't know that was possible. And even better: Linux has fallocate() that can do it for other filesystems than just XFS. Or looks like it's only XFS and ext4 (ext3 doesn't support it).
How about reiserfs (3, not 4)?
Though in the case of the "small number of large files" (i.e. the opposite of ReiserFS's strength), which you would get with mbox and mdbox, one would have to ask what upside ReiserFS would bring to the party which would outweigh the downside that Namesys is kaput and Hans Reiser is currently serving 15 years to life for second degree murder in a California State Prison...
