(In reply to Alan Somers from comment #1)

gvfsd-fuse exports gio operations on its virtual filesystems over FUSE, and=
 in
gio O_APPEND becomes g_file_append_to(), O_TRUNC becomes g_file_replace(), =
and
there is no API - by design - for opening a file to write without either of
those flags; it fails with ENOTSUP.

Even with gvfs patched to remove FUSE_CAP_ATOMIC_O_TRUNC, the result is that
files cannot be overwritten.

This would be difficult to fix inside gvfsd-fuse, and might not be accepted
upstream. Can't our VFS layer be patched to delegate open()/create() flags =
to
filesystems that support them?

gvfs is an important and widely used desktop package.
