Creating sparse files over SMB

[Conrad Minshall]

Has anyone tried NT_TRANSACT_IOCTL for sparse files over SMB?  Natively in
Windows sparseness never seems to be an implied aspect of a write beyond
EOF but it could be a nice performance win to do so. Both client and server
side are interesting.

See

rse_files.asp for some native documentation.
