--- Comment #1 from Jilles Tjoelker <jilles at FreeBSD.org> ---
This looks useful.

Is it possible to do without the new undocumented -D option? Perhaps you could
ktrace for truncate(2) calls or add numbers to error messages. (A truncate() to
something close to OFF_MAX should certainly not be expected to work, so
checking for sizes of files may not be sufficient.)

Instead of the PRIdMAX macro from <inttypes.h>, please use "jd".
