I want to replace the content of an existing file (keeping the type

fs := TFileStream.Create(Filename, fmOpenWrite or fmShareDenyNone);
fs.Size := 0;
fs.Write(.....);
fs.Free;
But it does not always work. The line fs.Size does not clear the
file on every file system. So the fs.Write only replaces the first
part of the file.
If it depends on the filesystem, then you should complain with the
linux kernel people ?
I'm not sure if it is a kernel thing. I don't have a vbox to test.
That's why I ask. Maybe someone knows more.
Have a look here:

It never was fixed, just no-one was able to reproduce for some time.
However it was with an xp guest on an ubunto host => we have it the
other way round
