I use GNOME's nautilus as my file manager, but I tested this with commandline tools (cp, rm etc.) as well. It is the same. I have an NFS4 server running and I very frequently get an "Input/output Error" whenever I am trying to remove or upload or even download files over nfs, even though *sometimes* the action, like deleting, is completed successfully. I don't get crashes or anything in server logs, so I don't know what to provide you except my dmesg. If you tell me how to get extra info, I'll gladly do it.

Can you please post the contents of "cat /proc/mounts"?
Of course.

Sorry. I should have been more specific: I meant on the NFSv4 client.
No problem.

The reason for the EIO is that you are using soft mounts (which return EIO when the server is unresponsive) in combination with a 1 second timeout. Please leave the timeout at 60seconds (timeo=600) when using a TCP connection. TCP provides reliability guarantees that make resends unnecessary, except in the event of a disconnection.
Thanks man. I have been focusing so mush on the server side of things that I completely forgot to have a look at the client settings. Thanks a lot.
No problem. Closing this bug then...
