No argument there (though I blame SMB itself, not Samba -- SMB sucks
even just from one Windows machine to another, without Samba involved).

I hope this isn't a really dumb question, but wouldn't this be a better
sequence?

    create tempfile (on same device and dir as datafile)
    write data to tempfile
    rename datafile to olddatafile
    rename tempfile to datafile
    delete olddatafile
