I had considered this, and it DOES appear that UFS has support for
sparse files... the trouble is, I don't have any experience with them --
how would I go about finding one on my system (the UFS entry in Wiki
does not mention sparse in its text at all)?

Would this Fileset not also exclude UFS? I was looking at the manual
yesterday and UFS does not appear to be a valid value for the FSType
directive, but perhaps it was just left out of the docs?
