Please send messages like this to the mailing list ( devel@lists.nfs-ganesha.org), as other people might have ideas that I don't. Unfortunately, I/O error is a generic error, and doesn't tell us much of anything. We'd need an error from the logs on either the client or server, or a packet dump to be able to tell what's going on. Daniel On Thu, Jul 9, 2020 at 3:56 AM Leave <yuanzhu1987@qq.com> wrote:

Hi，

When I use the nfs-ganesha with V3-stable, I found that if we use multiple clients(like 5 clients on different PC based on Vmware machine) to copy big file(like 1G) at the same time by the NFSv4, the "Input/output error" is occured on the client. We cannot find any log about the error in the log of the server. But if we copy the file one by one, this error is not seen. we tried many times, include xfs or ext4, the error occured *with high probability* when: 1.multi-clients copy large files at the same time 2.mount with NFSV4 And if we use NFSv3, this error is not seen. Could you please give us some clue about this problem? ps: we used FSAL_VFS.

error(some clients didnot occured, but some did with high probability)：

[root@localhost kpfadmin]# cp 1G t2/ cp: error writing 't2/1G': Input/output error cp: failed to close 't2/1G': Input/output error
