I agree. If a file randomly goes missing, that's not an error to ignore,
even if you think the only way that could happen is safe.
I could be wrong - but couldn't other bad things happen too? If you're
copying the files before the checkpoint has completed, couldn't the new
database end up with some of the recent changes going missing? Or is that
prevented by FlushDatabaseBuffers?
