I'm talking about sparse files. Where you might have: block_group1 - hole - block_group2 - hole - block_group3. Block_group2 has a head and a tail extent. In my mind, from a performance perspective, they are symmetric. Meaning that having a small extent at the beginning is no better and no worse than having a small extent at the end.
