hi i want to know how to handle file hole. for example, i have a 8k file. i do a seek at 20000 and write a byte. Does the fs alloc every block to store 20001 bytes ? yes ? but its a space wasting... no ? but when the user will fill the hole (writing from 8192 to 20000), my fs will perhaps be full and i have to reject the write operation... what is the standard (good?) behaviour ? and why (if possible) ?
