We don't have any plans of providing a VFS infrastructure. QAbstractFileEngine 
was such a proposal and we realised that it stands in the way of having very 
good non-virtual filesystem support.

No, I didn't. I don't know what's wrong. I simply took the opportunity to 
recommend you redesign your approach for your new application.

I suggest debugging into QIODevice::write / QFile::writeData to see where it 
ends up.
