Sebb edited comment on IO-338 at 4/17/13 2:15 AM: -------------------------------------------------- What error did you get before you swapped IOUtils.closeQuietly for the inline code? I see now: when an active file is renamed, the reader RAF still points to the original file, but operations on the File variable will use the new file. (Luckily File#length() returns 0 if the file does not exist, so the code should not mind if it catches the window between rename and creation of the new file.)
