I am trying to identify if a particular file is a sparse file using getattrlist()
I am using this : attrList.fileattr = ATTR_FILE_TOTALSIZE | ATTR_FILE_ALLOCSIZE;
According to the man page if ATTR_FILE_ALLOCSIZE < ATTR_FILE_TOTALSIZE the file is a sparse file.
I created the sparse file using dd #dd if=/dev/zero of=sparse-file bs=1 count=0 seek=3g
However, both AllocSize and TotalSize are returning the same size while actually AllocSize < TotalSize
I am using UFS
Does Apple UFS even support sparse files? Remember, UFS is a name used by a fair number of totally different and usually incompatible filesystems. I haven't really ever bothered investigating exactly what Apple's UFS can and can't do... indeed, I've always had the impression that it was only really present for the benefit of old-time NeXT users who might have compatible filesystems floating around already.
Kind regards,
Alastair.
