I'll try to reproduce this and keep you posted.

Thank you

[jpkrohling]

I think this isn't even a problem with the file storage, I think this is deeper, at the persistent queue from exporterqueue. I'm transferring this to the core repo.

[VihasMakwana]

Thanks @jpkrohling for transferring.
I can take this up. Can someone from @open-telemetry/collector-triagers assign it to me?
