Workspace's FileReadDeleteTest's testFileDeletionWhileReadingNio() fails from a VirtualBox shared directory

Original title: "Workspace's FileReadDeleteTest's testFileDeletionWhileReadingNio() fails in Ubuntu 14.04"

Steps to reproduce:
1. run mvn clean install on develop branch on an Ubuntu 14.04, openjdk version "1.8.0_111", Apache Maven 3.3.9

Actual Results: Exception thrown in workspace impl's FileReadDeleteTest's testFileDeletionWhileReadingNio (the testFileDeletionWhileReadingIo test succeeds) . See exception below.

Expected Results: The Test succeeds in Ubuntu 14.04 as it does in Mac OS X: The FileChannel is thread safe enough to keep reading the file stream even though the file was deleted in the second thread.

Workaround (if any): Build matterhorn-workspace-impl with -DskiptTests=true
REF: This is the exception thrown in the first thread at "return channel.transferTo(total, 1024, sink);" immediately after the file was deleted in the second thread.

The big question is that FileUtility uses FileChannel and it doesn't seem to be as thread safe on Ubuntu (14.04) as it is on other Operating Systems.
