[SOLVED] Input/Output error, read and writing ..

This is my brand new Seagate 500GB disk making troubles, it is formatted with NTFS for easier accessing trough Windows because it is sometimes plugged into an external case.
[dezza@dezza ~]$ sudo rm -rf store/BADDIR/
rm: cannot remove `store/BADDIR/tonsi-tonsi.r09': Input/output error
I don't hope this means it's broken Cause I filled it to the limit with valuable stuff ..
I tried remounting and rebooting ..

Well, it's happened on this new disk a bought a few weeks ago, can I check it to be certain that it is a bad disk somehow?

[SOLVED] Input/output error on a some libs (Qt and wx) since few days

I am not sure it is arch fault, but since I don't think I have a disk problem (dmesg doesn't show errors), I thought that maybe there was a problem with the packages or something else ...
I tried to remove these files and reinstall the package, but I can't (rm show me the Input/output error).
Thanks

You were right, there was a problem with the filesystem (there was no badblock, I checked, so I guess (hope) it was only logical).
Got a bunch of errors about flag that should not be set (extend, compress) and size that should not be good, and also errors on the files I mentioned above.
I reinstalled the corresponding package and I did not got the errors I was getting before.
So I guess (hope again :) that all is alright now.
Thank you !

MacBook Disk Utility: "Input/Output Error" When Backing up my iBook

Alright, here's the skinny:
I'm backing up an iBook's system drive while in Target Disk Mode via my MacBook using DiskUtility. The drive I'm saving the image to is an HFS+ USB 2.0 enclosed standard 3.5" drive. I start the process and things go just fine--
--but then!
"The device you removed was not properly put away. Data might have been lost or damaged. Before you unplug your device, you must first select its icon in the Finder and choose Eject from the File menu."
So yeah, about five minutes into the backup, I get one of those lovely "Device Removal" notices, even though I haven't touched anything and no drive has gone unmoutned in Finder (or in /Volumes/). After this I get a plain jane "Input/Output Error" message and am left in the dark.
Here's what I've tried:
-Restarting, killing every unrelated user-level process
-Disconnecting every other device, media, and peripheral from both machines
-Running the machine in "Better Energy Savings" mode and disconnecting the PSU in case FW or USB was fritzing from the 83C of heat the computer was causing.
Alright. Somebody help.

ImageIo: reading and writing a jpeg corrupts the image

Sometimes, ImageIo manages to read an image wrong. If I simply read() and write() the
image without any transformations, the image writtten will have its colors all wrong. The
output image format here doesn't matter.
An example image is: http://bram.name/~brama/pics/test.jpg
And output after reading and writing it: http://bram.name/~brama/pics/test_output.jpg
Is the image io lib to blame, or is it a broken image? The image displays fine in other programs.
Message was edited by:
Bram_A

Use this code to load the image.
From my experience it is much more stable and also faster.
My guess is that the problem is related to the ICC profile embeded in the JPEG.
JPEGImageDecoder decoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGDecoder(new URL("http://www.stack.nl/~brama/pics/imageio.jpg").openStream());
BufferedImage image = decoder.decodeAsBufferedImage();

[solved] NFS: "ls: reading directory .: Input/output error" after time

Hello,
I got the following configuration:
NFS-server: Always on, connected via LAN.
NFS-clients: 2 computers, connected via LAN and WLAN. On standby: auto umount NFS-share via system-sleep-hook with systemd.
This works flawlessly some hours or even days. But after some time, the following happens:
1. mount nfs-share: no error message
2a. trying to access that folder via filemanager, e.g. thunar: folder seems to be empty (it isn't on server!), but the correct freesize of the NFS-share on server is displayed in the statusbar.
2b. trying to access that folder via commandline:
$ ls
ls: reading directory .: Input/output error
The very same worked just a few hours before, I haven't changed anything meanwhile. Apart from standby (--> auto umount NFS-share) and resume (manual mount NFS-share) on the clients which worked before, too.
Any idea what's going wrong?
additional info:

(last one repeats several times...)
Indeed, the NFS-share resists on a external WD harddrive connected via USB, /dev/sdc1.
As suggested in the NFS wiki article, the NFS-share is a bind-mount:
/etc/fstab on server:
# fake-root for NFS
/magnet/owncloud/data/carl/files /srv/nfs/myshare none bind,noauto,x-systemd.automount
while /srv is on /dev/sda1.
The external harddrive has an auto-standby (NOT hdparm...) which isn't causing troubles with other services.
So it seems to be a problem connected to this bind-mount to external USB setup....
I'll try to find out whether there is a way to avoid that.
Thanks so far!

SOLVED: Getting an Input/Output error when accessing certain files

My system started failing a few days ago because of sudden Input/Output errors when trying to access certain files. It was running fine until various applications started crashing like for example Pidgin (in retrospect probably because of DBus crashing). I decided to reboot and now can't login anymore because the DBus module fails to load which in turn means that HAL doesn't load either and so I can't use my keyboard to login.
The error message I get from DBus is that it can't access the file /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.conf because of an Input/Output error. I tried to fix/see what was wrong using the arch livecd. Because I thought my problem had to do with a pacman update that had failed before I'd rebooted, I updated my system and I noticed that when pacman tried to access other files it came back with the same error message. The files seemed pretty random, one of them was fakeroot.conf and then several library files like libfaad (sorry this is kind of vague but I'm away from home right now and can't go online very often so I'm writing this from memory).
I'm guessing its a hard drive problem because checking the filesystem for errors came back with nothing. I was just wondering whether anyone had any other ideas before I go and reinstall. I'm going back home tomorrow so I'll be able to follow any advice/reinstall then.

UPDATE
It seems to be fixed! The second run of e2fsck fixed some more issues and the files that were causing the problems earlier seemed to have bad inodes. Boots fine now and I can get into my system. I checked and I still have a reasonable amount of free space so I don't think that was the reason ... I have no idea how the filesystem got so corrupted out of nowhere.
A few things are different, for example, it asked me to unlock the keyring and I couldn't mount my external encrypted drive anymore and had to do it manually with cryptsetup. e2fsck made quite a few changes so I imagine it's due to that. Shouldn't be to hard to fix though.
Thanks for your help!

Hi, I have a hard disk failure so to recover my data I am using disk utility to restore the data on an external drive while booting from a second external hard drive. When I perform the operation it gives me an input/output error and stops. Any tips?

Hi, I have a hard disk failure so to recover my data I am using disk utility to restore the data on an external drive while booting from a second external hard drive. When I perform the operation and after having selected both my destination and source drives, the operation begins but soon fails due to input/output error. If I try to create an image of the drive it gives me the same error message. Any help would be much appreciated.

Disk Utility only creates a image of the drive, so it's no help getting exactly what you want, which is your files. If the file structure is messed up or the drive is failing then it's no help.
If you have a external boot drive and you can't access the internal non-booting drive though the typical Finder and windows to transfer your files via drag and drop methods, then you need to install Data Rescue on the external boot drive and it will do as best as it can to recover your files. (works on non-encrypted/non-Filevaulted drives only)
.Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Are you sure you have hard drive failure, or that OS X isn't merely not booting?
Because if the drive is working physically, then there is a host of fixes

[Solved] CUPS: Unable to write print data: Input/output error

I'm filling this for the benefit of those poor googlers that can reach here.
Symptoms: After trying to print a "complex" image the printer made too much breaks, and failed.
The problem is, it then didn't came up. I mean, I restarted the printer, cupsd, the whole system, and nothing.
I was unable to print again, it showed "Unable to write print data: Input/output error" and refused to print anything.
I then saw that in /etc/cups I had printers.conf and printers.conf.O files, which differed (other than in StateTime), that printers.conf.O had
State Idle
but printers.conf had:
State Stopped
StateMessage Unable to write print data: Input/output error
Reason paused
Probably due to the ErrorPolicy being stop-printer.
So seeing I followed the following steps:
Stop cups
Replace printers.conf with printers.conf.O (I could also had manually edited it)
Start cups
It then went working flawlessly.
There was probably an option in the web interface combobox for doing that. The problem is that I didn't realise it was stopped, so didn't know how to make it work. Moreover, some posts in the web recommended reinstalling the printer (which would skip the problem by creating a new printer).

I think that I had this same problem, and fixed it by reinstalling the printer. Thank you for your post.

Leopard Disk Utility and Input/Output error messages.

This post is describing a problem I had and how I managed to fix it. When I was researching the Input/Output error message I was getting a couple of people had mentioned this fix on the apple discussion boards, so I thought I would add my fix to support them. (Isn't google fab!) I've no idea if this is the right place for this so please bear with me.
Okay a bit of background:- over christmas we treated ourselves to leopard and as my laptop is now three years old I decided to do a complete reformat and installation. I used my 60GB iPod as an external harddrive and backed everything up. Installed Leopard no probs and was a very happy bunny.
The problem:- I then wanted to remove everything off my iPod. So I thought "I know I'll use Disk Utility".... I tried it with the 'default' setting and got an Input/Output error message straight away (irrespective of whether I did it as an extended journal or not.) When I tried it with the Zero Out option (can't remember exactly what it's called) it came up with the Input/Output error message right at the very end. Argh! iTunes and Finder no longer recognised it, but Disk Utility did.
My research:- After using google I saw some guys on here talking about formatting proper external harddrives using leopards disk utility and they were getting the same messages as me. It turns out it is a fault with Leopards Disk Utility. So I did what the guys recommended.
The solution:- (Thank god I had tiger!) I put in my tiger installation disk, clicked 'install tiger' and restarted the laptop. I clicked my my language, but then rather than going through the actual installation process I went to the top menu bars and chose Disk Utility (using tiger's disk one rather than my laptop's leopard one.) And erased the iPod there. Now when I quit the installation and opened my laptop up properly it worked, both iTunes and finder could see it!!! (I just had to restore my ipod in itunes - and now I'm happily transferring all my music back!)
I hope this helps someone in the same position as me!

I took it to work to use my Windows PC to try and format the drive, but got the same problem. I figured either the drive (it's a 2.5" that used to be inside my AlBook) or the external housing it lives is was faulty. Only way I could test without spending more money is by putting the 2.5" drive inside my powerbook, and booting the (Ti) powerbook from a bootable firewire ipod. I successfully booted from the ipod, and had the same problem with the now internal drive: only visible in disk utility, any attempt to erase fails. Also, I plugged the small 10 GB drive that WAS in the TiBook (but which I removed to put the other, problematic drive in) into the external housing, and it connected to other machines just fine.
Turns out the problem is the hard drive itself.
So now my question becomes: If disk utility can see the hard disk when it is connected (I have it back in the external enclosure now), but gives "input/output error" messages when I try to erase/format it, is there any way I can salvage this drive? It's an 80 GB drive, and I was looking forward to making it my internal TiBook drive (replacing the old 10 GB drive that's in there now).

FCS "ERROR: could not read block 74012 of relation1663/16385/16576: Input/output error."

I would really appreciate some advice re: FInal Cut Server search errors.
FCS has been running well with our Linux based raid Editshare for 4 years, notwithstanding the recent Mac OS Java security issues.
Our FCS machine is running 10.6.8 mac os and 1.5.2 final cut server with the latest
OS 10.6.x updates, ancient I know.
FCS is still searchable for most of our offliners, audio, gfx and onliner machines running 10.7+, but in some cases, searching FCS assets results in "ERROR: could not read block 74012 of relation1663/16385/16576: Input/output error."
Initially assuming the OS and/or data drives on the FCS machine were failing, I ran disk utility's repair, verify. time machine, and cloned the database drive. I'll clone the OS drive tomorrow, but after checking the forums tonight and seeing similar error messages I'm not so sure it a degraded drive issue.
Thanks in advance, any ideas appreciated!

I would really appreciate some advice re: recent FCS search errors.
We're having similar issues to C.P.CGN's 2 year old post, it's only developed for us in the last few weeks.
Our FCS machine is running 10.6.8 mac os and 1.5.2 final cut server with the latest
OS 10.6.x updates.
FCS is still usable for 6 of 8 offliners, but on some machines, searching assets presents "ERROR: could not read block 74012 of relation1663/16385/16576: Input/output error."
Assuming the OS and/or data drives on the FCS machine were failing, I cloned the database drive today and will clone the OS drive tomorrow night, but after searching the forums and seeing similar error messages I'm not so sure.
FCS has been running fine for last 4 years, minus the recent Java security issues.

Failed to execute default file manager (Input /Output Error) [SOLVED]

I'm having an issue in XFCE where the default Terminal, Browser and File Manager launch correctly - but with this error:
Failed to execute default [file manager] [terminal emulator] [browser]
Input /Output Error
I have the requisite "Preferred Application" set as Chrome/Thunar/xfce4-terminal.
If I run
exo-open --launch FileManager
From terminal, it says:
[1] 4281 segmentation fault (core dumped) exo-open --launch FileManager
Remember, it launches the app successfully - and the apps themselves launch correctly, it's only exo-open that I have a problem with! Everything else works great on this system.

Tried downgrading glibc from 2.21-3 to 2.21-2 as this is the package which contains libpthread.so, and on my other arch workstations I don't have the issue, but to no avail, same error box pops up when using exo-open, and my IDEs are not starting.
I'll try comparing installed packages versions on both workstations.

Macbook 2.1 and Western Digital BPVT input/output errors

Hi. After a hard drive failure in my macbook I tried upgrading to a 320GB Western digital BPVT hard disk. Unfortunately the macbook can't seem to read the disk properly when plugged in internally and it shows the capacity as 2.3TB and gives an input/output error when I try to erase the disk (it does show correctly the Description WDC WD3200BPVT).
The hard disk itself works. If I plug it into the sata caddy my windows 7 PC can see it, format, write and delete to it. AND if I plug the same caddy into the macbook as an external disk it can read it and write to it etc. The only difference I can think of is the caddy doesn't support S.M.A.R.T and as soon as the disk is put in internally I get the 2.3TB capacity and input/output errors. That said I put the hard disk in a HP laptop and it recognised the hard disk internally and installed the OS ok.
I tested the macbook with a scorpio blue BEVT 500GB and that works perfectly. So I know it's not the controller or capcity issue. Is it the BPVT? People on the discussion say this drives works fine, I'm just not sure if I'm missing something. I was fixing this computer for a friend and not 100% when it comes to Macs.
Has anyone seen this issue before? Is there anything I can do to get the hard drive to work in the mac..
Hardware used:
Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD3200BPVT Hard Disk Drive,320GB, 5400rpm, 8MB Cache, SATA 3 Gb/s
MacBook 13" circa mid 2007 (model 2.1)

Hi, unfortunately not, I never found a fix. I had to swap the disk for a BEVT.
The BPVT worked in a 2009 MacBook. It appears to be the older 2007 MacBook can't read a BPVT, I tried a lot and couldn't get it to work.

[SOLVED] Input/Output error, read and writing ..
