Unable to install pytorch 1.2.0: EnvironmentError: [Errno 5] Input/output error

don’t bother, it is more likely a filesystem issue: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/7032

hi,
i’ve been trying to install pytorch 1.2.0 on a server using pip install torch torchvision but i’m getting the error:

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 5] Input/output error.

  • the installation was fine on another server.
  • i tried installing torch using the wheel torch-1.2.0-cp37-cp37m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl, but get the same error.
  • i’m suspecting that there is something going on the failed server. (probably the disc, and the size of the package!)
    installing other packages (on the failed server) is fine.
  • any pointers to the cause? thanks
  • config.:
    • cuda: 10.0
    • ubuntu: 16.04.4

the last lines of the log of pip install torch torchvision: any clues? installing numpy works fine but not torch. it seems something to do with writing rights! or packages using wheels?

Hi, I met the same problem with you. So, did you solve the problem? If did, could you share it? I would appreciate it very much!

hi,
sorry for late reply.
the problem was solved by the admin.
not sure what they did exactly.
however the source of the issue is the writing on a newly installed disc.
writing large files on it caused i/o error.
this prevented installing new packages including pytorch.

Thank you for your reply. My problem was also solved by the admin.

Hi I’m getting this same issue. For me the disks and VMs are being created on the fly in a kubernetes cluster. Could anyone give a little more information on what was needed to avoid this error? Or what was happening to cause this error?
