--- Comment #8 from Andrey Gursky <andrey.gur...@e-mail.ua> --- (In reply to Wayne Davison from comment #7) Wayne, since this bug made rsync unusable for me, I fixed that and implemented additional checks needed for ext4 a month or two after I reported this bug and saw no reaction at all. Now a couple of people got interested and you also, so I can share my work. It's not tiny. > In my testing, using both a pre-allocate call on a file followed by a > hole-punch call has no effect on the allocation of the blocks (though it does > zero them). Yes, this is tricky. Hole-punch works only for full filesystem blocks (e.g., default 4K). Issuing few partial hole-punch requests wouldn't work, even if they cover the whole block. -- 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.
