Hi,
Thanks for checking this. If this is not supported through FUSE can
this be done through libgfapi.
Thanks and Regards,
Ram

This is currently not supported yet. I'm not sure if the FUSE kernel module
support punching holes yet, either. Please file a bug for this feature so that
we can figure out a plan to work on it.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=GlusterFS&component=fuse
Note that support for SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA is also not availeble yet.
Some work has been done, but it is not ready for inclusion at this moment.
Hopefully it lands in the upcoming 3.8 release.

Thanks,
Niels
