MakeSparse

Simple command to 'compress' files on the filesystem by skipping over blocs of zeros, thus creating sparse file out of regular file.

This was done to copy arround vmdk files but could be usefull in other situations as well.

Usage

makesparse output will read stdin and write it into the given output file, creating a hole each time a block of more than 256 zeroes are found.

Not much to say.
