(Follow) sparse file support (development)
Subsystems (2)
Hi together,
I had trouble finding a statement in the NFS wiki
http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
about sparse file support or development plans for it outside of (very very) technical documents which I honestly didn't take the time to understand. Maybe I can get you to give me short statement on this :).
Best regards,
Kalle Richter

Hi Anna,
Yes you did, thank you! I'd like to recommend you to put this information in the wiki, if you don't want to rely on $SEARCH_ENGINE finding this thread in the mailing list archives only :)
Best regards,
Kalle

Hi Kalle,
Currently you can use
SEEK_SETto create sparse files through seeking. NFS v4.2 (currently in development) will add support for an fallocate interface, but that won't be merged into Linux until after the draft is finished.I hope I answered your question!
