Error when executing "qiime tools import" script on a server

[thermokarst]

Hi there @mbx! I think we have seen a similar error before on certain configurations of network-mounted drivers:

[ErrNo 17] file exists during classify

Hey there @mingala! It looks like /nas1 is a network-mounted NFS drive: My guess is that there is a driver or compatibility error happening here - it looks like the filesystem (and its metadata) is temporarily in an inconsistent state. This would be a good one to send towards your cluster sysadmin, they might have some ideas. I don't think this is a QIIME 2 error at this point, I think this has to do with the filesystem (either the local mount, or maybe on the NFS server...). Please keep us …

Any chance this applies to your situation?
