Thanks. I've added a new patches file, sparse-block.diff, with your patch (slightly tweaked). I think that long-term we probably want to rewrite the sparse-file code to have a certain minimum size that it will skip with a seek (since the current code might even try to skip a single byte, and it doesn't help to skip anything less than the file's underlying block size). It would also be nice to automatically buffer non-skipped data into larger blocks for writing, no matter how small the sparse-block size is. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
