> 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.
