-SEEK_HOLE: this moves the file pos to the nearest hole in the file from the
given position.

Nearest, or next? Solaris defines it as "next", for a good reason - otherwise
you can get stuck in a case where the "nearest" hole is back towards the
start of the file - and "seek data" will bounce back to the next byte at
the other end of the hole.


Yeah sorry the log says "nearest" but the code says "next", if you look at it thats how it works. Thanks,

Josef
