https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214665 Theodore Tso (tytso@xxxxxxx) changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|REOPENED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INVALID --- Comment #4 from Theodore Tso (tytso@xxxxxxx) --- As Lukas said, "truncate" is not the only way to create sparse files. And there are many Unix / Linux programs that depend on the ability to create sparse files, since Unix support of sparse files goes back at roughly 50 years (half a century). The fact that clueless users / sysadmins might not understand basic Unix/Linux behavior is not a bug in Linux. There are plenty of other ways that an experienced sysadmin might shoot themselves in the foot.... -- You may reply to this email to add a comment.
