Hi,

I am trying to implement fake disk images for emulating nand flashes.
I see the spares files are formed when the content is zeros. But for nand
flashes the content is all one's initially. It is difficult for me make a
sparse file with all ones.

Do any one have suggestions for this problem.

I am thinking of creating an nand flash file with all zeros and negating
the data at receiving end in qemu. So the input file will be null, but the
concept of all 1's be intact. But this will be confusing if some one likes
to compare the output bin files after a write. One should read the data
negating.

Regards,
Sai Pavan
