Huh. Compressing and then decompressing the very same file filled my disk. Can somebody verify this? OS X 10.2.5 on a iBook 640 MB RAM here.I don't know which filesystem OS X uses, but it obviously supports sparse files by default.
IIRC MacOS X supports at least HFS+ and UFS filesystems.From tests done on a coworker iBook (dd seek=...) HFS+ doesn't support sparse files. UFS obviously does. So depending on your fs type you'll have different behaviors under MacOS X.
