Can stackfs improve transfer progress information? #1

For desktop users, transferring to a USB drive using a FUSE FS driver like NTFS can be problematic vs other OS due to Linux DEs reporting a very fast copy(cache in memory?) which leads to displaying the progress of the transfer as almost complete, then several hours later(due to slowness of FUSE with NTFS?) the transfer may actually be completed and the systems UI is notified in someway to display the transfer is complete to the user.

StackFS from what I've heard can possibly improve those long transfer times due to FUSE and might be able to better communicate to the OS(kernel?) information about the transfer like a kernel space FS would?


EDIT: Seems this issue is the same with FAT and unrelated to FUSE, instead is due to kernel buffering before writing to the external media.
