Comment (by pulkomandy):
I wonder if it is possible to detect that the package is incomplete, and
wait for more node monitor notifications (for stat changes?) until the
copy is complete. It should be possible to know the package size from the
header (at least the package tool knows and complains about truncated
files).
However, it is possible that Tracker (or other copy tools: rsync, cp, scp,
wget, ...) uses fallocate or similar to pre-set the size of the file, and
in that case, this wouldn't work. More validation would then be needed,
and another way to know when to retry.
