Uhhhh, databases?
- rincebrain 3y agoDatabases don't involve using SEEK_HOLE to find gaps in a sparse file, usually, so it wouldn't come up here.
- thyrsus 3y agoSo you needn't do so: SEEK_HOLE does not occur in the GitHub.com repos for postgresql, mariadb, nor sqlite. Are there system libraries they incorporate which use SEEK_HOLE?
