Summary: files are created as sparse files when they shouldn't Product: Wine Version: 1.1.2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: kernel32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: mblomenk@gmx.de
Created an attachment (id=15490) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=15490) segment of winedebug relay output
Wine does create sparse segments automatically as soon as the filepointer is advanced behind the current end-of-file. Windows semantics however is that sparse files must be explictily requested.
See the attached trace for example which results in a file being created as sparsefile unexpectedly.
