>Description:
Trying to find holes on a sparse file on 9.0-RELEASE x86_64 ZFS, lseek() with whence=SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE always returns ENXIO. In particular, this code:
offset=lseek(fd,0,SEEK_DATA);
if (offset==-1) {
if (errno==ENXIO) {
// No more data
printf("no more data\n");
close(fd);
exit(-1);
}
}
always prints "no more data". Same thing if seeking with SEEK_HOLE.
The expected behavior is for lseek in this case to return 0, because the first block of data starts at 0.
This works fine on 8.2-RELEASE i386 ZFS.
>How-To-Repeat:
This code works as expected (offset equals 0 after the call to lseek()) on 8.2-RELEASE i386, but not on 9.0-RELEASE x86_64
offset=lseek(fd,0,SEEK_DATA);
if (offset==-1) {
if (errno==ENXIO) {
// No more data
printf("no more data\n");
close(fd);
exit(-1);
}
}
