A copyFile or cp whose data copy failed (ENOSPC, EDQUOT, EIO, EFBIG) closed the destination through a guard that ran ftruncate(dest, wrote). The read/write fallback added to `wrote` on read, before the write, so after a failed write the ftruncate extended the partial file to the source's size with a hole (cross-filesystem arm), or left an honest partial (copy_file_range arm). Node removes the destination. Count bytes written, not bytes read, and on failure close and unlink the destination (unless it is the source inode) instead of truncating it, in copyFile and in the single-file primitive behind cp.

With explicit offset pointers the fds' positions stayed at 0, so a sendfile or read/write fallback entered after copy_file_range had made progress would restart from the beginning and add its bytes to a non-zero count. Pass null offsets, as bun_sys::copy_file and the FreeBSD copyFile arm already do, so a fallback continues where copy_file_range stopped. Also shorten comments in these paths and disable FICLONE in the new test's child so a reflink-capable tmpdir cannot bypass RLIMIT_FSIZE.

src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs— Pre-existing: the macOS >128 KB arms ofcopy_file_innerandcopy_single_file_syncstill leave a partial destination when the copy fails partway — the same bug class this PR fixes for every other arm. Afterclonefilefails (cross-device, unsupported volume) they fall tobun_sys::c::copyfile_rc(src, dest, …), which createsdest, copies, and on ENOSPC/EFBIG/EIO returns an error without removing the partial file; the test caps the source at 120 KB precisely to avoid this path. Fix: on acopyfile_rcerror, removedestunless it is the source inode (stat both first), matching libuv, at both node_fs.rs:4802-4807 and node_fs.rs:8326-8344.Extended reasoning...

The parallelcpprimitive at 8316-8344 is identical. Base branch behaves the same, so a user still gets a truncateddestafter this PR on the macOS large-file path even though every Linux/FreeBSD/macOS-small-file arm now removes it. REVIEW.md requires the whole class (fast/slow paths, per-platform branches) be fixed together or the exclusion stated; the PR does neither, and the new test intentionally sizes the source under 128 KB to skip this arm (test file line 9).Verification: pre-existing — the macOS >128 KB fallback arm is unchanged by this PR and the base branch already fails the same way by the same route.

On failure close_copy_dest unlinked any destination that was not the source inode, so a copy to a fifo or a device node that failed (fs.copyFileSync(f, "/dev/full")) removed that fifo or node. Unlink only when fstat succeeds and reports a regular file that is not the source. The FreeBSD copyFile arm had its own unconditional unlink on failure and now uses the same check. Tests: add a ulimit -f 0 case (no byte lands, like a filesystem with no free block) and a fifo destination whose reader goes away.

The reader's open of the fifo waits for the child to open it for writing. If the child exits first, open a writer to release the pending open, so the test fails on its assertions and not on a timeout.

src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs— pre-existing: on macOS, fs.copyFile*(p, p) for a file over 128 KB deletes p and throws ENOENT, where Node leaves the file intact. copy_file_inner at src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs:4992 unlinks dest before clonefile without checking that dest is the source, so the only link to the data is gone before the copy starts. Fix: skip that unlink when dest resolves to the same st_dev/st_ino as src (returning EINVAL or success as libuv does), which also covers a src that is a symlink to dest; the cp arm at node_fs.rs:8512 shares the pattern but is shielded by checkPathsSync. The PR's test at line 91 covers only the Linux FICLONE_FORCE variant of this class.Why this was flagged
A caller runs fs.copyFileSync(p, p) (or fs.promises.copyFile / fs.copyFile) on macOS with p a regular file larger than 128 KB and no COPYFILE_EXCL; the same happens when src is a symlink whose target is dest. copy_file_inner's macOS arm (src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs:4974-5003) stats src, sees st_size > 128 * 1024, and because !shouldnt_overwrite() runs Syscall::unlink(dest) at node_fs.rs:4992 before any same-inode check. dest is the same path (or the symlink's target), so the last link to the data is removed. clonefile_rc(src, dest, 0) at node_fs.rs:4995 then fails with ENOENT because src no longer exists, and the copyfile_rc fallback at node_fs.rs:5043 fails the same way, so the user gets ENOENT and the file is gone. Node (libuv) never unlinks dst before copying and refuses or no-ops on a same-inode pair, so the file survives there. The base branch behaves identically; the PR adds a same-source guard (unlink_failed_copy_dest, node_fs.rs:4929-4937) and a test for the Linux FICLONE_FORCE case at test/js/node/fs/fs-copyfile-write-error.test.ts:91 but leaves this macOS sibling. The <=128 KB…
Verification: pre-existing (security-irrelevant data loss; the base has the identical lines). Trigger: on macOS, fs.copyFile/copyFileSync/promises.copyFile(p, p) (or src a symlink resolving to dest) with p a regular file whose st_size > 128 KB and no COPYFILE_EXCL/FICLONE_FORCE. Mechanism verified in /home/claude/bun/src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs: the macOS arm of copy_file_inner does
Syscall::stat(src)…
copyFile already retries. In cp an EINTR from copy_file_range failed the copy, and the failure path now removes the destination.
…of a failed copy The unlink removes one name. When the destination has another name (a hard link, or it was reached through a symlink) or the unlink fails, the file stayed with the new prefix followed by its old tail, at its old size. Truncate a regular destination that is not the source to the bytes written first, so what stays holds only bytes of the source. Tests: a symlink destination, and a fifo source larger than a pipe on kernels with 64 KB pages.
An empty target passed the check. On Linux the target must hold the bytes written up to the file size limit.
A reflink that succeeds went through one more ftruncate. It is a cost for a copy that never fails, and there is no reflink filesystem to test it on. Restore the exits: fchmod and close. Only the failed COPYFILE_FICLONE_FORCE exit uses close_copy_dest.

src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs— pre-existing: on btrfs/XFS-reflink, copying a block-aligned or empty file over a larger existing file leaves the old tail (or the whole old content) in the destination, reported as success. The FICLONE success exits at src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs:5214-5217 and :8641-8644 only fchmod and close; dest was opened without O_TRUNC and the kernel's whole-file clone never shrinks the destination's size. Fix: make every FICLONE exit (force and opportunistic, copyFile and cp) leave dest exactly source-sized, e.g. ftruncate(dest_fd, 0) before the ioctl as libuv does, or route the success exits through close_copy_dest with wrote = size. Commit 7f8eb30 removed the latter remedy that f6eb89a had added, so HEAD is back to base behaviour here.Why this was flagged
Trigger: fs.copyFileSync(src, dest) or fs.cpSync(src, dest) on Linux where dest already exists, is larger than src, both are on a reflink filesystem (btrfs, XFS reflink=1), and src's size is a multiple of the block size (including 0 bytes). copy_file_inner opens dest with O_CREAT|O_WRONLY and no O_TRUNC (src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs:5187-5192), then ioctl_ficlone(dest_fd, src_fd) at :5213 (or :8640 for cp). The kernel's FICLONE (len 0 = to source EOF) only ever grows the destination i_size (btrfs clone_finish_inode_update / xfs_reflink_update_dest use
if newlen > i_size), and for an empty source generic_remap_file_range_prep returns 0 immediately without touching dest. rc == 0, so :5214-5217 fchmod, close and return Ok: the user gets a destination whose first bytes are the source and whose tail is the old file's bytes (or, for an empty source, the untouched old file), with no error. The base branch behaves the same, so this is pre-existing; the intermediate commit f6eb89a fixed it by setting wrote = size and ftruncating in close_copy_dest, and commit 7f8eb30 (HEAD) restored the…Verification: pre-existing, acknowledged in diff: commit 7f8eb30 ("keep the FICLONE exits of copyFile/cp as they were") deliberately removed the earlier in-PR fix (

On the An earlier commit of this PR (f6eb89a) truncated the destination to the source size on those exits. I removed that in 7f8eb30, for two reasons:
The commit message names only the cost. It does not say that the same call also cut the old tail. That part of the message is incomplete, and the PR description now states the open case.

Say so if it belongs infs.test.ts.Not run. macOS, FreeBSD, Windows, Android (compiled), a filesystem with reflinks, a device node (
mknodis not permitted in my environment). A device node takes the same branch as the fifo.Not covered. A reflink (
FICLONE) that succeeds onto a larger existing destination: the exits are the same as on main, so the destination keeps what main keeps there (by the kernel source, the old tail for a source whose size is a multiple of the block size, and all old bytes for an empty source). An earlier commit of this PR truncated there. I removed it, because I cannot test it without a reflink filesystem and it adds one syscall to every reflink copy. A write error that onlyclose()reports (NFS, FUSE): the copy still returns success there, and libuv reports it. A compare of the inode before the unlink would narrow the rename race of the last Downsides bullet. I did not add it: it keeps a symlink destination in place, and it can skip the unlink on a filesystem that does not keep inode numbers stable.What else changes.
copyFileSync(f, "/dev/full")). This branch keeps them, as bun does today.fstatof the destination fails, nothing is truncated or unlinked.copyFilearm had its own unconditional unlink on failure.

The count differs from before only whenwrite()returned 0 and the loop stopped early: it is then the bytes written, not the bytes read.copy_single_file_syncis also the primitive of the shellcpbuiltin. That builtin is disabled on POSIX (posix_disabled: [Cat, Cp]inBuiltin.rs), and the Windows arm (CopyFileW) is unchanged.Related PRs.
copy_file_rangethe other way: explicit offsets, and the count restarts at 0 before the fallback. The two PRs conflict innode_fs.rs. Whoever resolves that conflict must keep exactly one of the two designs: null offsets together with a count reset to 0 would cut real data. node:fs: do not pad copyFile/cp copies when copy_file_range fails partway #43398 has the only tests of that case.blob/copy_file.rs) and shell mv: trim the preallocated destination to the bytes copied on the cross-device fallback #41677 (shellmv.rs) fix sibling sites.
