Hello. Logstash version 7.3.0 gets the error:
```auto
[2021-06-08T10:13:48,304][ERROR][filewatch.tailmode.handlers.grow] read_to_eof: general error reading //PC/C$/inetpub/logs/LogFiles/W3SVC2/u_ex210608.log {"error"=>"#", "backtrace"=>["org/jruby/RubyIO.java:3014:in `sysread'", "E:/logstash-7.3.0/logstash-7.3.0/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/logstash-input-file-4.1.10/lib/filewatch/watched_file.rb:218:in `file_read'", "E:/logstash-7.3.0/logstash-7.3.0/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/logstash-input-file-.4.1.10/lib/filewatch/watched_file.rb:230:in `read_extract_lines'", "E:/logstash-7.3.0/logstash-7.3.0/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/logstash-input-file-4.1.10/lib/filewatch/tail_mode/handlers/base.rb:52:in `block in controlled_read'"]}
```
I restart logstash and the logs work fine until the next day. What does this error mean and how to fix it?
