I don't use ext2, I use reiserfs and it works fine here (test10)
tux:~$dd if=/dev/zero of=holed.file bs=1000 seek=5000 count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
tux:~$ls -l holed.file
-rw-r--r-- 1 gandalf gandalf 6000000 Nov 29 20:55 holed.file
tux:~$du -sh holed.file
980k holed.file
tested on a router (with test10 and ext2 and reiserfs) and it works fine
on both filsystems
tested on another router with reiserfs and ext2 running test11
works fine there too on both filesystems
works fine on test8 with both ext2 and reiserfs
(1k blocksize on ext2 and 4k blocksize on reiserfs)
