This issue may be crucial in some cases. Overwriting blocks is bad: not just for sparse targets but also for filesystems like JFFS2, where "overwrinting" means enlarging target space. This means: for 1M target overwritten 10 times it takes 11M of space. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
