This is ridiculous.

Nobody should need to know anything about the internal
details of a specific filesystem's implementation when
they're writing a userspace application. If the filesystem
has chosen to do silly optimizations which doesn't work
right when using published apis and methods, it's the 
filesystem that is broken and not even remotely the
application's fault.
