Yes, it does. We can not report the correct file size that
Windows clients expect anyore. This will break a lot of
applications.

There is currently work underway to make calls to ftruncate
and friends async, so that at least clients will not
reconnect if that call takes more than 30 seconds. Will take
a while thought before this hits a release.
