I don't get this bit. Why can't there be a race? File gets created, size 0.
NFS stats. File gets written to. NFS says no data in file. EOF.
Comapred to:
File has 100 bytes. NFS stats. File gets appended to. NFS reads and returns
200 bytes.
Or does NFS only ever return as much data on a read as a previous stat said
there was to read?

But HOW, when you don't know the sizes of the files?
