I know, that it is not a bug from posix pov. The unexpected behavior of ext4 only happens on system crash. So, I doubt that this has to do with TFileStream.SetSize. I was just wondering if there might be another posix compliant behavior that let TFileStream.SetSize fail on some file systems. That's why I mentioned the ext4 story.
