Subject: [9fans] Fwd: Reading from FS with inaccurate file sizes?
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 2f3165a0-ead2-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

I started a conversation with Amit Singh on the MacFUSE website about
the problems I was having with zero-sized files, and he brought up
this point.  I have neither a Linux nor a FreeBSD system to try this
on, but I know some people on this list have used 9pfuse on those
systems in the past.

Can someone use 9pfuse -D and try out this test?

That is:

prompt # plumber
prompt # 9pfuse -D `namespace`/plumb /mnt/plumb
prompt # wc /mnt/plumb/rules # verify output is correct (and file non-
empty)
prompt # cat new_rule.txt >> /mnt/plumb/rules # what does the 9pfuse
debug output show here, specifically for the offset of the write?

When you do this on Linux for a file with an advertised size of 0,
what offset do you get in the write call in your user-space file
system daemon?
