Is that a "no"? :-)
I agree the VFAT solution is the right way of fixing it, but I could
live with workarounds as well. Pre-allocating space before writing is
not strictly necessary, as far as I can tell.
I do not know enough about FAT to know if it's even possible to
implement an efficient truncate operation.
