OS: Celena
Problem: I can't seem to overwrite/replace some files in my external hd. I have permission in the entire disk as far as I can see from properties. When I look at the permission of the similar file though, it says, it can't determine the permission of the file.
Even trying to permanently delete the corrupted file does not make it disappear.
Error "I/O" error while copying <insert file>

But the filesystem is still corrupted.WinXpNewb wrote:Strange. Once I moved the files to the other external hd (ext3 too) the error went away.
1. umount the drive in question, especially if it was automatically mounted:
Code: Select all
sudo umount /dev/sdXXwhatever
2. run "fsck":
Code: Select all
sudo fsck /dev/sdXXwhatever
