    - Every now and then (not always) it gets stuck waiting for the
      daemon to receive data (see backtrace below), but the daemon is not
      waiting for anything, it's just some weird race.  We can try
      debugging it with wireshark later.  That file ends with a hole.

     Trying to reproduce yet another one, the command gets stuck even with
     different offsets.

 - vol-download --sparse --offset $X --length 1
   /path/to/source.file destination.file

    - This does not respect the length if:
        X > $source_file_size - $last_hole_size

      The size ends up being $source_file_size - $X

Humble suggestion here: what about turning the simple scenarios above
as proper tests?


The problem here is that after designing the test and writing it, we
also have to mock all accesses to the source and destination files and
report how the result looks, etc.  And I didn't get to virStreams even,
that's only sparse files.  We could instead do integration testing of
this, which would be easier, however you can only do that on a
filesystem that you know keeps holes, plus the hole sizes can be
different based on the block size, the files can be way different based
on adaptive allocations, etc.  There are so many factors for this that
it is not easy (I'm not saying it's impossible).  If I had lot of free
time, this could fit in somehow.  Also after I upgrade the
virfilewrapper, it will be easier to control the behaviour of the
file-access functions way more delicately.

But patches are welcome! ;)
