Oh.  Um, try the -T permissive option (and possibly more than one of them, like 
‘-T permissive -T permissive’ IIRC, but if its through a USB to sata (or 
whatever) device, then you’ll probably need to use the -d TYPE option (see the 
man page for details).  But try permissive first.

Nope, you didn’t break anything.  For some reason, they called it 
‘smartmontools’, so use that instead of smartctl in the apt-get command.

(Actually, at one level smartmontools makes sense as a name, but it makes 
remembering what to type a bit harder when doing the apt-get…)

…

Notice that we have ‘pre-fail’ and ‘old-age’ above, and especially the 
‘Overall-health self-assessment’.  That one is the one that the BIOS checks to 
see if the drive is dying.

The important ones in the above list, from the point of view of failure 
alerting (IMHO), are reallocated sector count (5), raw read error rate (1), 
attributes 10-188, hardware ecc recovered (195), reallocated event count (196), 
offline uncorrectable (198).  (If you see a lot of UDMA CRC Errors, that’s 
probably a cabling issue, assuming I actually understand what the vendor is

RE: rm

2018-11-26 Thread Carruth, Rusty
You might want to check syslog (or messages) to see if the drive is getting 
errors.  (which is to say, getting ready to die)

Or use smartctl -a to see what the SMART attributes say (look for the 
‘pre-fail’ attributes).  Or, best, do both.

Re: rm

2018-11-23 Thread Eric Oyen
wow.
It sounded like you had some really nasty issues with that filesystem. It’s 
didn’t want to unmount, fsck wouldn’t behave and rm couldn’t delete files. Yep, 
that’s a hard core FUBARED filesystem alright.

Well, you got the problem resolved. 

Btw, sometimes I encounter stubborn files like this. It usually turns out to be 
a permissions issue. The only problem then becomes resetting the perms (as they 
sometimes won’t stick).

Usually though, if an FS shows corruption, using fsck should solve it (unless 
there is some kind of bug that is causing read/write operations to fail.

Re: rm

2018-11-22 Thread Michael
I ran fsck. It just returned through. So then I reformatted it with
gparted. So all is well (I guess). I did have to restart the computer after
the reformat though (don't remember why) but everything seemed okay. Oh
yea! I think I had to restart it because it would not unmount and I
figured I would try to restart it and if it would gracefully do so it would
be good. And it did and upon restart the drive auto mounted.

Ok, unmount the drive, then run
Sudo fsck 
When completed, remount and then try to remove the files using:
Sudo rm -rf

Input output error means the device is not accessible or that the file
table is corrupt. If there is nothing you want to save I would format it.

this is interesting: I tried accessing 'Neil' from the GUI but get an
