At least the default should be sparse files if the filesystem supports them.

Good question. As you like... I can remove option if you prefer. I don't
know how performs sparse file on windows so perhaps someone can still
prefer normal file for performance.

OK for the idea, but why is a new option needed ? Sparse file usage
should be automatic if the filesystem supports it.

Hi,
this patch add sparse file support under Windows
(supported on NTFS).
It add a -s flag to qemu create and qemu convert. It
contain also a new
implementation for ftruncate witch not fill manually space
but only use
SetEndOfFile (so to handle correctly sparse file)
