This probably has something to do with the VM's filesystem block size. If you have a 4KB filesystem and an 8KB file, the file might be fragmented differently but is still the same 2x4KB blocks just in different places.
Now I wonder if filesystems zero the slack space at the end of the last block in a file in hopes of better host compression. Vs leaving it as past bytes.
