I'll run a test with both ftruncate and fallocate using XFS as the target system. I have a 75GB file I can test rsyncing across the internal network to see how it will work. My Ext3 system is a little smaller so I run some quicker tests there first (like 2GB). I'll post the results as soon as the test is complete. Thanks for the tips.
