After running test example again, I have noticed that the file does not actually get written to the disk unless I write another file after writing the first. The second file has a size of zero bytes.


In my application, I have tried doing this also, however, the second file does not get created and the first file is zero bytes. I am running mine in a low priority task (the other are currently blocked thorugh). Is there some limitation to the task type at all?
