Hi;

Just FYI, after reconsidering their position wrt NIH, the
linux guys now think SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE is wonderful:

http://lwn.net/Articles/440255/

and NetBSD is known to be working on it too (latest patch):

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2011/08/17/msg011231.html

I hope our own developers haven't forgotten that this
is indeed a desired feature and that we get it for 10.0
or, if possible, 9.1.

cheers,

Pedro.
