Reading Directory Input Output Error Linux
any commands in Linux. I have pointed some examples that reports similar error. # input/output error kali linux du -bash: /usr/bin/du: Input/output error #mkdir sampledir mkdir: cannot create directory `sampledir': Input/output error Input/output error while running the command mostly bashrc input/output error due to two reason. Either it could be bad blocks on the disk or someone hacked your machine. In this situation first suggestion would be to check /var/log/messages for any disk related alerts (might see
Centos Input/output Error
some sense key alerts). tail -n 100 /var/log/messages tail -f /var/log/messages If you notice any disk issues , try any disk utility to confirm this. One option would be use smarttools. You can check smartool option to fix bad blocks. If you already installed it you can take the advantage of that. Next immediate action would be take backup of your system. Good if you already have it :-). If
-bash: /root/.bash_profile: Input/output Error
you have good backup its safe to reboot.If your system was hacked there are chances they might messed up your file and system would not work after reboot. You can also try fsck but it really dont fix most time if it bad block issue. Fsck can fix only if it related to any filesystem related issues. Usually fsck will fail in between as when it try to read the file at bad block. Now if try to reboot , it can also give the same output. You can try init 6. # reboot bash: /sbin/reboot: Input/output error # shutdown -r now bash: /sbin/shutdown: Input/output error If the above reboot commands doesnot work try either forced reboot or shutdown . Forced Reboot echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger Forced Shutdown echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq echo o > /proc/sysrq-trigger You might also likeHow To Fix / Repair Bad Blocks In LinuxHow To Backup LVM Configuration On Linux (vgcfgbackup & vgcfgrestore)Linux Crontab : How To Configure Cron With Best ExamplesHow To List Linux Pci Devices Using lspci CommandSet Date And Time In Linux And Sync With Hardware (CMOS)Linux Hdparm Command: Display Hard Disk Model and Serial NumberLinux: Manage Spaces And Special Characters In File NameUnderstand Linux Su Command Functio

Sometimes the computer freezes and then unfreezes 2 minutes later, and other times when I try a basic command like less I get the error bash: /usr/bin/less: Input/output error. But http://askubuntu.com/questions/181972/what-does-intermittent-input-output-error-suggest this is intermittent too. Any suggestions? Also if I try sudo reboot and enter my password, I get sudo: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/plato/7: Read-only file system Before I used to be able to do sudo reboot fine. If I tail /var/log/syslog I do see these curious lines: .... ata1: softreset failed (device not ready) .... ata1: hard resettting link .... ata1: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) What can I do to fix this? 12.04 share|improve this question edited Aug 29 '12 at 21:38 asked Aug 29 '12 at 21:31 dan 97021831 I suggest you have a look at /var/log/syslog, and I have a hunch you'll see a lot of disk-related errors. Input/output error indicates that the system is having trouble reading or writing information, and this is most likely due to damaged storage devices. –roadmr Aug 29 '12 at 21:36 2 Go to "Disk utility", it will tell you more about the "health" of your hard drive. –Cumulus007 Aug 29 '12 at 21:44 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 3 down vote Backup your data NOW.

But I have experienced "Input/output error": $ rm pic -R rm: cannot remove `pic/60.jpg': Input/output error rm: cannot remove `pic/006.jpg': Input/output error rm: cannot remove bashrc input/output error `pic/008.jpg': Input/output error rm: cannot remove `pic/011.jpg': Input/output error $ ls -la pic ls: cannot access pic/60.jpg: Input/output error -????????? ? ? ? ? ? 006.jpg -????????? ? ? ? ? ? 006.jpg -????????? ? ? ? ? ? 011.jpg I was wondering what the problem is? How can I recover or remove the directory pic and all of its content? My OS is Ubuntu 12.04, and the removable hard drive has ntfs filesystem. Other directories not containing or inside pic on the removable hard drive are working fine. Added: Last part of output of dmesg after I tried to list the content of the directory: [19000.712070] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci_hcd [19000.853167] usb-storage 1-1:1.0: Quirks match for vid 05e3 pid 0702: 520 [19000.853195] scsi5 : usb-storage 1-1:1.0 [19001.856687] scsi 5:0:0:0: Direct-Access ST316002 1A 0811 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 [19001.858821] sd 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 [19001.861733] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] 312581808 512-byte logical blocks: (160 GB/149 GiB) [19001.862969] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled [19001.865223] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Cache data unavailable [19001.865232] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through [19001.867597] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled [19001.869214] sd 5:0
