| The issue: | |
| Concurrent pwrite() calls from different threads cause file corruption | |
| on OS X, even if the file regions that are being written to don't | |
| overlap. | |
| We're not sure whether this may have been fixed in more recent versions | |
| of OS X. So far we've been unable to reach someone within apple that | |
| was able to provide more information or could fix it. | |
| Shitty workaround that is in libuv as of today: | |

| https://github.com/joyent/libuv/commit/cb03e3bd26587b851552ad8b54b30600e48ef829 | |
| The issue also existed in node v0.4 and earlier, before libuv existed: | |
