09:55 <@kendy_> _rene_: Can you please ask him if the size of the file stays
                untouched?
09:57 <@kendy_> _rene_: I have a suspection - gnome-vfs UCP tries to seek when
                it opens the file to test if random access is supported.
                Something might be broken there..

Grüße/Regards,

René
