Comment(by damoxc):
It depends on your filesystem, on decent filesystems that support sparse
files then it doesn't need to, most filesystems on linux support this.
Heres an example of creating a sparse file using dd:
{{{
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=somefile bs=1 seek=20G count=0
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes (0 B) copied, 1.9416e-05 s, 0.0 kB/s
$ du -sh somefile
0 somefile
$ ls -lh somefile
-rw-r--r-- 1 damien users 20G Feb 25 00:13 somefile
}}}
