Git clone fsync input/output error in linux

I am trying to clone the tensorflow/models repo. I am connected to the remote machine with ssh. I tried many suggestions out there for fixing the issue but none worked for me. 

git clone --recursive https://github.com/tensorflow/models.git

Solution

  • The problem was that I was trying to clone in the nfs file system. The solution is to clone the repo in non-nfs location, and then move the folder to the desired nfs location. 

    cd /tmp   (non nfs location)
git clone blablabla.git
mv blablabla ~
