--- Comment #5 from Carson Gaspar <car...@taltos.org> --- (In reply to Carson Gaspar from comment #4) Actually, you never want the sender to scan for zero regions if SEEK_HOLE isn't supported, as performance would then be terrible. And a given filesystem may not support SEEK_HOLE, even if lseek() does. So we're really back to picking (1), (2), or (3), as I don't see unreliable sender sparse mapping as sensible (although using SEEK_HOLE to save source file read time and provide a hint to the receiver may be nice). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
