right, that's what I see too in testing.
But would the coreutils install have done a preallocation of the destination
file?
Otherwise this looks like a different bug...

ext4 got a fix, but not xfs, I guess. My poor brain can't remember, I think I
started looking into it, but it's clearly still broken.
Still, I don't know for sure what happened to Markus - did something
preallocate, in his case?
