filesize(): stat failed in Filesystem/Filesystem.php because there are no checks for a file prior to consuming

This is happening to me in a recurring fashion. Centos 7, Laravel Framework 8, Apache HTTPD.

I've searched to see if anyone else might be having this issue. Several have this same issue, and it has existed for a while.

framework/src/Illuminate/Filesystem/Filesystem.php

Line 77 in 127a9ca

$contents = fread($handle, $this->size($path) ?: 1);

I'm suggesting a check in the size method or within the try/catch block to determine if the file exists. If it doesn't exist throw an exception or return zero. Wondering what your thoughts are about this approach and could it be fixed?

Should a solution like this check to see if a file exists before consuming said file?
If yes, then how might this be handled?
Also, how is this currently tested?
