Whoops, good point. It was a very old and half-arsed attempt at doing expanding truncate to no-holes filesystems (mostly the fat flavors). reiserfs likes it because it needs to insert zero'd out indirect items for holes.
I've got the bits to make fat use it too, the only real gain being able to save staroffice files onto fat.
