          @olivierlambert I've just tried and yes, 'guessVhdSizeOnImport: true' solved the problem.

              We run this config now for a week and didn't have any problems. So it looks good from our site.

                  'guessVhdSizeOnImport: true' looks like solved the problem 9 day ago. But I'm getting same error sometimes and randomly since that day.
                  Daily CR job have 31 VMs. Some day successful 31/31. But some days one or two VM replication fail with tis message: VDI_IO_ERROR(Device I/O errors).
                  I think my problem still related with this topic.

                    Ever since I have changed to guessVhdSizeOnImport: true I have not had any problems. However I only backup 5 VMs which is not much.

                    In the past I noticed that if I didn't change the default "Concurrency" setting to 1 in the Backup NGs advanced settings (I assume that it tries to parallelize backups by default) then my tasks would fail randomly once in a while with VDI_IO_ERROR(Device I/O errors). I figured that perhaps my servers are not fast enough; they have about 40MB/s write speed to the disks only. Setting to 1 solved it, but I can imagine this may not be desirable if there is lots of VMs to backup since it would slow down the process considerably.

                      @olivierlambert Yep, I think it's safe enough to turn on by default in the next release πŸ™‚

                          Xen Orchestra configuration

                          should I add "guessVhdSizeOnImport: true" to /opt/xen-orchestra/packages/xo-server/config.toml

                            To your config file, yes. Where this config file is depends on where do you installed Xen Orchestra (I suppose from the sources, so I can't guess where do you installed, could be anyware πŸ˜‰ )

                            edit: I think it's fixed now and integrated by default in the config

                              Great, this fix already is in the new version.
                              I was having this problem (Error: VDI_IO_ERROR(Device I/O errors)) and was not be able to do CR of my VMs but now CR works.
                              Thank you

                              PS: BTW that was my config file πŸ˜‰
