    Yes, sparse files make a lot of sense.

    Except for the administrator of a machine with evil users who
    purposesly make files with huge holes in them, the volume gets backed
    up to tape using tar and fits, he tries to restore it later and lo and
    behold the disk lacks the room for the files. Classic problem.
