----------------------------------------

Hi, [~zxu] Thanks for updating the patch.

bq. I tried, but it is failed with "Not a directory" exception at 
DiskChecker#checkDirAccess

What would be the real problem to fix in this patch? Is the {{Null}} due to the 
input is a file or an IO error?

If the later is the case, would it be OK to use {{DirectoryStream}} instead of 
{{listFiles()}}, as it can report {{IOException}}. Also we should test against 
this case.


> DiskChecker#checkDirs should check null pointer for the return value from 
> File#listFiles to avoid NPE.

> DiskChecker#checkDirs should check null pointer for the return value from 
> File#listFiles. Based on the document for File#listFiles at 
> https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/io/File.html#listFiles() :
> {code}
> Returns null if an I/O error occurs.
> {code}
> So it will be good to check null pointer and throw DiskErrorException if it 
> is null.
