Per Hank: for our immediate problem, i don’t have a specific theory of causation. there are multiple possible causes, and we don’t have enough information to distinguish among them. i would like to try the suggested procedure (writing to a tmp dir, testing there, then moving the file into the item dir, even if that entails a copy across filesystems) because (1) it has diagnostic value, helping us narrow down possible causes based on whether the problem recurs, (2) if at all possible, i want to preserve the practice of moving or copying only complete, known-good, files into the item dir, breaking that convention as a last resort once we’ve determined it’s the only way to resolve this problem.
