So in summary, currently on (2.6.39-rc3), the following
will (usually?) report a single unwritten extent,
on both ext4 and xfs

  fallocate -l 10MiB -n k
  dd count=10 if=/dev/urandom conv=notrunc iflag=fullblock of=k
  filefrag -v k # grep for an extent without unwritten || fail

This particular issue has been discussed so far at:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=8411
Note there it was stated there that ext4 had this
fixed as of 2.6.39-rc1, so maybe there is something lurking?

cheers,
Pádraig.
