I like this approach. Since the code is already written for pretty much every permutation: regular non-sparse file, regular sparse file, block device, adding the new API isn't a lot of work. That gives users the greatest flexibility for choosing the time of the zero operation, which is important since it's time consuming.
Yeah, that'd be a nice feature. Paolo
