What about for a sparse file doing just

That's a good point. The only thing that makes me hesitate is that
I'm not certain that the file is guaranteed to contain zeros
following the second call to ftruncate,
I think since it's sparse, it must be a regular file? If so, it would
be fine as Eric pointed out.
a volume represented by a regular file on a backend that doesn't
support volume delete. If that's so, we could just skip the whole
zeroing operation entirely for regular files.
Looks like it...
