Error performing inpage operation

[Simon Good]

Why do I get this error

java.io.IOException: Error performing inpage operation

when I try to copy a file from a server to my local disk?

I'm using nio FileChannels

Someone help - please!

Got code?

[Simon Good]

Yep, here ya go........

 
private boolean doCopy(File origin, File dest) {
    
  boolean success = true;
    
  FileChannel srcChannel = null;
  FileChannel dstChannel = null;
    
  try {
    srcChannel = new FileInputStream(origin.getAbsolutePath()).getChannel();
    dstChannel = new FileOutputStream(dest.getAbsolutePath()).getChannel();

    srcChannel.transferTo(0, srcChannel.size(), dstChannel);
  } catch(Exception e) {
    success = false;
    log.error("doCopy Failed to copy " + 
               origin.getAbsolutePath() + " to " + 
               dest.getAbsolutePath(), e);
  }

  AudioController.releaseLockAndChannel(null, srcChannel);
  AudioController.releaseLockAndChannel(null, dstChannel);
  log.debug("doCopy returns : " + success);
  return success;
}

Worked it out

I already have a FileChannel open on the source file somewhere else in the code. Bit of a misleading message in the exception though.
