Hi Sergio, thanks for the report. Unfortunately I don't have root access to an amd64 system, and would need that to properly debug the problem, but maybe you can help me. As a start it would be good if you could post an strace output from this Input/Output error. If possible please find out the pid of cfsd, start strace -p <pid>, and send the output of strace after reproducing the problem above.
