    That should result in a sparse file on any sane filesystem, right?

      Theoretically, yes. Theoretically NTFS supports sparse files, but I don’t know if the feature is enabled by default.

        It supports it, but it’s opt-in by apps.

        Enabling compression is another option (Though with a speed and size penalty), it’s user visible at least.
