> There are two FileUtils#chmod methods:
> {code}
> public static int chmod(String filename, String perm
>                           ) throws IOException, InterruptedException;
> public static int chmod(String filename, String perm, boolean recursive)
>                             throws IOException;
> {code}
> The first one just calls the second one with {{recursive = false}}, but despite that it is declared as throwing {{InterruptedException}}, something the second one doesn't declare.
> The new Java7 chmod API, which we will transition to once JDK6 support is dropped, does *not* throw {{InterruptedException}}
> See [http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/nio/file/Files.html#setOwner(java.nio.file.Path, java.nio.file.attribute.UserPrincipal)]
> So we should make these consistent by removing the {{InterruptedException}}
