Only if the error is on the reading.

Use case:

disk: 102 meg free
file1 to be copied: 92 meg
file2 to be copied: 10 meg

we are copying both files in sequence to the disk
while the file is being copied other file writes 12 meg to the disk

what user would have expected is to be able to copy the 10 meg file only after
the error, but that would be impossible if 90 meg of the first file is still
sitting there.
