Konstantin has wrote about these thing see below.

Also code tells that xfstests is being used in Paragon. In ntfs3/file.c:
/*
* Unwritten area
* NTFS is not able to store several unwritten areas
* Activate 'ntfs_sparse_cluster' to zero new allocated clusters
*
* Dangerous in case:
* 1G of sparsed clusters + 1 cluster of data =>
* valid_size == 1G + 1 cluster
* fallocate(1G) will zero 1G and this can be very long
* xfstest 016/086 will fail without 'ntfs_sparse_cluster'
*/
/*ntfs_sparse_cluster(inode, NULL, vcn,
* min(vcn_v - vcn, clen));
*/
I'm just bringing this thing up because so many has asked and Konstantin
has not responded recently. Hopefully he will soon. Of course is it
little bit worrying that example generic/013 still fails after almoust
year has passed and Konstantin said he is working on it. And it seems that
more tests fails than beginning of review process.
