Sean Poulter updated IO-544: ---------------------------- Description: I've been struggling to troubleshoot intermittent {{IOExceptions}} thrown from {{FileUtils.doCopyFile}} when copying 2-4KB files from a local temporary file to a network drive. Despite the error, the file appears on the network drive when I check. Should the output channel/buffer be forced/flushed before closing, and synchronized before comparing the file lengths? It's a rather intermittent issue on a relatively high throughput PC so I'd expect there to be more IO latency than normal. I found myself referencing: * [The source code for FileUtils v2.5](https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/javadocs/api-2.5/src-html/org/apache/commons/io/FileUtils.html) * [FileChannel#force(boolean)](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/nio/channels/FileChannel.html#force-boolean-) * [IO-443 - FileUtils.copyFile methods throw an unnecessary "Failed to copy full contents from" exception](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-443) Thanks, Sean was: I've been struggling to troubleshoot intermittent {{IOExceptions}} thrown from {{FileUtils.doCopyFile}} when copying 2-4KB files from a local temporary file to a network drive.
