data files preallocation

Hi All,
I was wondering if there is a way to configure MyIsam tables to preallocate disk space on reallocation (in order to keep disk fragmentation under control).
I believe that this is a major performance killer for INSERTs intensive applications.

I noted other posts regarding similar topics: should MySQL lack such support, my (poor) workaround would be to format the data volume with a large disk-cluster size (64K with NTFS).

Again, it would be much better to have MySQL controlling MyISAM data files sizes.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions.
