Summary
When starting a Fabric (or vanilla) server for the first time on Minecraft 26.1, the world upgrade process (`FileFixerUpper`) crashes with:
AbortedFileFixException: java.nio.file.FileSystemException: ./world/filefix/cow/tmp_N: Invalid argumentThis occurs on **btrfs** (Linux) and **ZFS** (FreeBSD/Linux).
Steps to Reproduce
Place an existing pre-26.1 world (or a fresh world from an older version) in the server directory.
Run the server on a host whose filesystem is btrfs or ZFS.
The server fails immediately during world upgrade at ~2% progress.
Expected Behavior
The server upgrades the world successfully.
Actual Behavior
The server crashes with the following stack trace:
[13:02:32] [main/INFO]: Starting upgrade for world "world"
[13:02:32] [main/INFO]: Upgrading progress: 2%

If you try to upgrade the world using the original version of the game without the fabric, the error message is simpler, but the reason is the same, so I think it's a Minecraft issue.
