Oh by the way, "dd conv=sparse" doesn't seem to work for me; it doesn't create a sparse file: $ dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=512 count=1000 conv=sparse 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 512000 bytes transferred in 0.070895 secs (7221952 bytes/sec) $ ls -kls test 528 -rw-r--r-- 1 root nfswheel 512000 Sep 21 19:58 test
It is a "feature" of dd that does not create sparse files if given a block size.
