from stat(5):
	As a special case, if all the elements of the directory entry in a
	Twstat message are ``don't touch'' values, the server may interpret it
	as a request to guarantee that the contents of the associated file are
	committed to stable storage before the Rwstat message is returned.
	(Consider the message to mean, ``make the state of the file exactly
	what it claims to be.'')
