cp command - problem with sparse |

Hi there,
I have files on my HD that contain large amounts of
zeroes and I want to convert them into sparse files. I
already tried the GNU fileutils with their cp command.
They say that it converts standard files into sparse
files by using the command
"cp --sparse=always c:\test.cfg c:\test2.cfg"
Everything works fine with that cp command, except the
fact that I do not get a sparse file. Even when I copy
a sparse file, the sparse attribute is no longer
present in the copy an the occupied space on my HD is
the same as with the original file.
What am I doing wrong?
I tried already different PCs with NTFS (OS = Win2k
SP4)
Your help and assistance would be appreciated very
much.
Thanks and regards,
Rolf
