1Introduction 2Check Real Size 3Check Apparent Size 4Also See 5Footnotes Introductionedit Kicksecure KVM images are sparse files. In result, on common Linux operating systems with common file systems such asext4these appear to be taking 100 GB of disk space but in reality only use ~ 1 GB ...
Using sparse files can add to the fragmentation of a volume (a newly created large file might initially occupy a single range of clusters; making some parts of the file sparse might lead to these freed clusters being used by other files; when the large file is deleted, the initially contigu...
Support for sparse files is introduced in the NTFS file system as another way to make disk space usage more efficient. When sparse file functionality is enabled, the system does not allocate hard disk drive space to a file except in regions where it contains nonzero data. When a write ...
Sparse files do not have disk space allocated for every block in the whole address space, leading to holes within the file. Holes are detected by their content, which is always zeros, and these zeros take up space. The default is to restore the sparse file without the holes, which would...

Browse files Speculative preallocation based on the current file size works well for contiguous files, but is sub-optimal for sparse files where the EOF preallocation can fill holes and result in large amounts of zeros being written when it is not necessary. The algorithm is modified to ...
An embodiment method includes pre-allocating, in a logical sparse file, a plurality of segments fixed in size and contiguous at fixed offsets. Upon receiving a command to write database objects to the segments, the database objects are mapped to the segments in a database catalog. The ...
Sparse files in NTFS has been a pet interest for a while now, but I just never had the combination of time and patience to deal with DeviceIoControl and get a C# wrapper in place. Well, with our offices closed over Eid here in Dubai I had the time and, as a side effect to procrast...
