Yes, but it doesn't work as expected for ext4.

Actually in my test, ext4 can create the file with 8K file size, not a
short write. I haven't looked into it yet. But AFAICS, if we have an
ext4 volume with 8k cluster size, a 4k file can occupy a 8k cluster and
the final write of 8k will succeed instead of the short write.
