@apiszcz hello! This error seems to be related to the ROOT path used during training. It seems like your ROOT path is on a network mount, which is causing some issues. One solution is to move your ROOT path to a local drive on your machine. You can read more about ROOT paths in the documentation at https://docs.ultralytics.com/yolov5/training.html#train-hyp. Let me know if this helps!
