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. -- Milind
