--- Comment #4 from Dave Gordon <dg32...@zoho.eu> --- How about using truss/strace/whatever the OSX equivalent is to get a count of all system calls made, when run with and without the --sparse option. Total time on each type of call would be useful too. If you find that --sparse results in ten times as many write(2)s, that might be a useful clue! BTW remember there is a bug that is triggered by using --sparse and --preallocate (and possibly --inplace) together. See https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13320#c1 for details. -- 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.
