Description:

Given QmYw8okuEpxCPhfX3CKbF8mtpmyHPHP9VC3VNhUepytcSh which is producing EOF error:

$ ipfs files stat /ipfs/QmYw8okuEpxCPhfX3CKbF8mtpmyHPHP9VC3VNhUepytcS
Error: unexpected EOF

..one can import it to MFS, but then removal is not possible:

$ ipfs files cp /ipfs/QmYw8okuEpxCPhfX3CKbF8mtpmyHPHP9VC3VNhUepytcSh /foo
Error: cp: cannot flush the created file /foo: unexpected EOF

$ ipfs files ls /
foo

$ ipfs files rm /foo
Error: unexpected EOF

🙈

I imagine we should

• guard files cp against EOF somehow, so getting into this mess is not possible
• (and/or) make it possible to files rm even when a file causes unexpected error
