SSHFS for Remote Filesystem Using Local Disk


I am mounting a remote filesystem to my computer using SSHFS to edit a LibreOffice document. Whenever I save, there is a spike in my local disk usage. What I am wondering is why does saving to a remote filesystem touch my local disk? Where is the data being written to (it is a write according to an iostat)?

most probably libreoffice is doing some local magic with temporary files, updating its bookmarks and whatnot.
no need to worry.
