I have a set of ~6000 tif files from a FIB-SEM. 15 MB each that I try to import using
OMERO.server/bin/omero -s localhost -u $user import -- -d 1 --transfer=ln_s $imagedir

It manages to do so for part of the files but randomly exits with the following complaint (first line shows last successful import):
