    Ugh... How about relevant subset of strace?

    Wait a minute. I don't believe in on-disk file being restored by magic,
    but I could believe in page(s) being never written to disk and giving the
    impression of "update that doesn't stick". You have a file shorter than
    one page, so in principle it seems to point to the handling of partially
    truncated pages. Hmm...

    BTW, how does test8+patch to block_truncate_page() behave? And what is the
    block size on your fs?
