Special preallocation for small headless devices - to prevent fragmentation

does it mean that 1.72 finally resolve the file fragment problem of NMT?

Sorry for late reply (had to do some testings). Yes, this version resolves fragmentation problem. You should set preallocation=2 in settings.json file to enable it.

WARNING! With preallocation=2, there'll be a long delay after you upload torrent file and before actual download begins (around 2-2.5 min for 10Gb). This is normal, the files are being preallocated. Web interface and Transmission Remote programs will also be unresponsive. Don't reboot your NMT! The download will continue after preallocation is over.
