Users report that they can not access files from within LO on network drives. The files can sometimes be opened in LO through the file manager. This has been reported for Fedora 14/64 bit, Fedora 15/32 bit, Ubuntu 11.04, and Ubuntu 10.10. The file manager used in one instance was Nautilus and it is assumed the distro's default file manager was used with the default GUI. One user (Ubuntu) reported nothing happens when trying to open files from within LO and a General Input/Output error is reported when saving a files. Both LO 3.4.0 and 3.3.2 are reported to have this problem. OOo (version unspecified) was able to access the files correctly from Ubuntu 10.10.

Hi. This is not an issue with a Stardom NAS unit with OSX + LO3.3.4 or Suse 11.0 + 3.3.2.
I was having the same issues; I was OK opening a file on a samba share, but could not save the file (to the existing filename; I was fine saving to a brand new filename). The error generated was "General input/output error while accessing <filename>". This was solved when I discovered the following post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6012786&postcount=691 So basically, according to that post, the fault is with the office program not implementing cifs style mandatory byte range locks. It was solved/worked around by adding "nobrl" to the cifs mount options. Everything is OK now, but I presume that libreoffice needs to fix up byte range locks, for better compatibility with network file access.
I have just been searching for a solution to a similar problem and thought I would add to the discussion, as it's been happening to me on Win7 64-bit with both LO 3.3.x and 3.4.x. The server in question is a Hammer network drive from a few years ago, and ours is a Windows network. I can open document files with images across the network, but they report a General Input/Output error when saving, and the files needs to be recovered when LO is started again. When I get this error message in a document, I notice that the document's embedded images break and report a Read_Error problem. (I get a similar error with one of our office's large Calc spreadsheets as well, particularly when the sheet structure is changed, but it is intermittent, and while I think it's macro-related, I haven't nailed down what the trigger is.)
I have the same issue. We are running libreoffice in our office and i can't save a file as. Then i get a general imput/output error. i'm running this from ubuntu 11.04 i already patched gvfs with 2 patches upstream but that did not fix this issue. When saving a file with gedit it does work. With kind regards, William

Same problem here, on Windows xp with LO 3.4.3, 3.4.4, 3.4.5, LO 3.5.0beta1, LO 3.5.0beta3. What happens in my tests is as follow: 1) I open an odt, shared on alfresco cifs. No Errors. 2) I make a little change and save. Error saving document, General I/O Error. But the document is saved anyway. 3) I make another little change and save. LO notifies that document has been changed after opening and asks to overwrite. If i choose to overwrite then LO gives a Error during file save. Any further save gives this error.
Same problem on Windows XP, Windows 7 with LO 3.5.2 on an alfresco 4 CIFS share Any solution ?
Planas and those who didn't mention Alfresco: would you have some time to give a try to a recent LO version (last stable one is 4.3.4)? For those who talk about Alfresco, there are several types of network access, Alfresco is just one of them. So please open a new bugtracker if you still encounter with Alfresco 4 since the original description doesn't quote Alfresco.
