or

FATAL:  could not close file "base/1/1249": Input/output error
FATAL:  could not close file "base/1/2603": Input/output error
CONTEXT:  writing block 0 of relation base/1/1247

I cannot reproduce this issue on Beta 21 (build 11019). I think this issue has likely been fixed. If you could try out your use case and let us know if the problem still occurs, we’d really appreciate it.

Thanks for participating in the Docker for Mac Beta!

Best regards,
