Description

For some reason, newly created files in fuse_dfs appear to be length 0 for a while.

cmccabe@keter:~> echo hi > hi
cmccabe@keter:~> mv hi /mnt/tmp/hi
cmccabe@keter:~> ls -l /mnt/tmp
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 cmccabe users 0 Jul  2 13:24 hi
cmccabe@keter:~> cat /mnt/tmp/hi
cmccabe@keter:~> cat /mnt/tmp/hi
hi

Disabling FUSE attribute caching fixes this.
