This sounds like a dangerous approach in any case. Truncating a file while there are potential other readers should probably not be done. I wonder if there is a good reason for this. A safer solution would be to create a new temporary file, write the stats to that and once done rename it to the expected filename. Any process reading from the 'old' file will have its file-descriptor open and can still read the previous, but consistent contents.
