Hi. I'd like to know:
. Are sparse files supported by FFS?
. If so, how do I actually create a sparse file?

I tried with dd if=/dev/zero, but it instead created a file of the size I
specified, which is not what I wanted.
(what I'd like to do is to create a -possibily big- partition with vnd and
put some files a couple of megs in there. If there a way or I have to go
ext2fs?


Thanks for the support!
