If we're hypothesizing plausible unchecked exceptions, maybe consider adding `UncheckedIOException` ?

I'd also recommend one exception per line, breaking the line before the `|`


} catch (IOException 
    | FileSystemNotFoundException 
    | InvalidPathException 
    | ReadOnlyFileSystemException 
    | UncheckedIOException ex) {
