From time to time, I saw input / output error on rename() or pwrite_full(), for example:

What could be the cause of this problem and the consequences?
Your hard disk is dying (or the network with NFS)? Syscalls should never return I/O error unless something's really wrong. dmesg most likely gives additional information.
