Subject: [TUHS] Unix filesystem semantics history - files with holes
Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2019 19:37:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3993.1554950225@cesium.clock.org> (raw)
When did the Unix filesystem add the semantics for "files with holes" (large,
sparse files)?
Just an idle question that was sparked by a conversation I had today.
