There is rough version of another test that I got directly from Jeff Lui, the person who wrote the SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA feature in XFS. This version tests the advance features of SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA. Ben asked me about this advanced test when he committed the advance features of SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA to the XFS OSS tree. To the best of my knowledge, this test has not been submitted as an xfstest so we could not add it then. --Mark Tinguely.
