This allows to grow the filesystem after system boot up. We have no additional cost as squashfs handles sparse files. --- archiso/mkarchiso | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+)

Currently I am maintaining this in a local package for myself. Any chance to get this merged upstream?
No. This is a special case. If root-image.fs.sfs is copied to a filesystems that does not support sparse files (FAT commonly for USB-keys), this is waste of free space.
brb, ignore me!! truncate is on root-image.fs not root-images.fs.sfs :P
Yes, this can be safe by default and can be included for next release :)
