Hi Fabrizio, Ah, one of those things they don't tell you about in the man page. You are right, it is ugly. The async I/O code in the kernel only reserves so much buffer space for async I/O requests. Apparently, I exceeded that for your copy. The solution is to revert back to doing sync I/O instead of returning an error. I will look into it. It would be nice if I had more debugging info but I don't think this is repeatable since it appears to be load depedent.
