When truncating a file, file buffers which have already been allocated but
not yet written may be truncated.  Truncating these buffers could cause
breakage of a sequential write pattern in a block group if the truncated
blocks are for example followed by blocks allocated to another file. To
avoid this problem, always wait for write out of all unwritten buffers
before proceeding with the truncate execution.
