I couldn't find any discussion in the mailing list archives regarding
this issue. Kindly point me to the appropriate discussion thread if
there's any.
-----
Here's my point of view ...
fdiscard() will help to support rsync --inplace and --sparse flags at
the same time which will help the Gluster geo-replication feature.
Punching holes in a file is possible on:
1. Linux
2. NetBSD
but not
3. FreeBSD
at the moment.
In-place hole punching will help Gluster geo-replicate virtual machine
images efficiently.
Kindly comment.
