Backstory: I was trying to use an ISO file that I had on my external using AcetoneISO--then everything froze up. I forced a shut down/reboot, then when I rebooted, my HD wouldn't mount. It didn't even give me an error message, it just didn't work. What's up? Help? EDIT: @Alaa: I was just about to add this info. I have just tried manually mounting my drive, and this is the output: $ sudo mkdi

I am trying to copy files to it using rsync. Here is the problem; after the process starts, I obtain 'input/output error'. Rsync continues the process, however I cannot read the harddisk directory. This problem only occurs after a while, like one hour later. Previously I used this harddisk to backup my MacBook and I did not receive this error; the process continued like eight hours without an error. I also use another 1 TB external harddisk without any problem. I used GParted to partition the disk with gtp partition table and ext4 format. I ran fsck command and did not obtain any errors. I also include the last lines of the output of dmesg command. I am on a Dell Latitude with Linux Mint 17, if this is relevant. Cheers.

I am able to access the rest of the folders on the disk. I am getting Input/Output error as show in the attached Image. Also I run some sudo commands which I found in some of the fora, does this output help in anyway to narrow down the issue? How can I input output error get to my data in that particular folder. io external-hdd share|improve this question edited Oct 3 '14 at 18:49 Anthon 47.5k1462125 asked Oct 3 '14 at 18:03 Anwer Sylesh 63 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote This looks like a corruption on drive sdb. Before you try and repair that NTFS partition (probably best try natively under Windows) you can use ddrescue to make a copy of the drive, so you have something to retry in case the repair fails. You can also use smartctl to check if the drive has errors, but if this drive is connected via USB you might not be able to issue the commands to the drive. It might not be a good idea to continue using that driver after (and if) you recover the data. share|improve this answer answered Oct 3 '14 at 18:57 Anthon 47.5k1462125 My laptop doesn't have enough space to use the ddrescue command, which I guess take all the 2TB image file when i execute right? –Anwer Sylesh Oct 5 '14 at 8:46 @AnwerSylesh Yes, or at least the size of the partition, not necessarily the whole drive –Anthon Oct 5 '14 at 9:27 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign

This discussion is locked paulrugg Level 1 (0 points) Q: External Hard Drive Input/Output error I recently started having problems with an external hard drive setup that I did not have problems with prior to upgrading to 10.5.5 and trying to setup the drive to be compatible with Time Machine.The hard drive enclosure that I have has 2 bays for two SATA drives. I have used this enclosure without any problems until I tried to get 1 drive to act as the backup drive for Time Machine and the other to be storage. I formatted them using Drive Genius. I used the option for GUILD or GUIL which it said was the better format for using with Time Machine.The first problem I ran into since upgrading and reformatting the drives is I got an "input/output" error the first couple times I connected the drive via USB to my Mac. I could still use the drives but I got weird errors every once in a while like "input/output error" or "device was not ejected properly" even though the device had not been unplugged. Now the drives will not mount using OS 10.5.5. The drives show up when I open Disk Utility, but I cannot get them to mount. I have ran Disk Utility First Aid, and it says the drives are fine. There is one error that shows up when I run the "Repair Disk" feature. It reads "Invalid content in Journal". But Disk Utility also says "The volume was repaired successfully".I have seen some posts when I do a search in google about this issue and it seems this is a known issue. Every suggestion I see says to insert your Tiger DVD and reformat the drive using that and the problem will be solved. The only problem with that is I have a lot of important files on the drive that I cannot lose. I had the files backed up until I moved them to the new drive a while back. Now I do not have a backup because I was in the process of switching to bigger drives and erased the old drives after doing so because everything was working fine.I am hoping someone out there may have some suggestions (other than erasing the drive) to get my dives to mount so I can transfer the data off to another drive and reformat after.Thanks,Paul Rugg Mac Mini 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.5.5) Posted on Nov 25, 2008 3:45 PM I have this question too Close Q: External Hard Drive Input/Output error All replies Helpful answers by a brody,★Helpful a brody Nov 26, 2008 6:51 AM in response to paulrugg Level 9
