I think that should be sufficient to detect problems if they really would exist, so there should not be a real need to run *explicit and separate* test cases for the combinations of "buffered with mark" / "buffered without mark" / "unbuffered with mark" / "unbuffered without mark" as that would not provide any improved coverage or detection rate IMHO.

The `FileChannel#transferTo` in its javadoc states that it can throw exceptions that aren't `IOException` (for example `NonReadableChannelException` which is a `IllegalStateException`). So it was just an attempt to see if such a testing uncovers something that might make us consider catching those exceptions in this new implementation of `BufferedInputStream#transferTo` and rethrow it as an `IOException`.

The original implementation of `InputStream::transferTo()` doesn't do that either, so if you think `transferTo()` must do that, that has to go into the *original* implementation, not only into the one of BIS in particular. To keep things simple, I'd propose that we do not mix ideas and you file a new issue / PR for that.
