here's the permissions on the drive:
drwxrwxrwx myuser:users
it seems to work ok when I copy files from the normal root drive, or
straight from a windows machine through samba.
But when I try and copy something from one of the mounted vfat drives,
it copies a few folders including all subfolders and all files, and then
will stop and give me a I/O error. So maybe the problem is with the
other drives. However, after that happens, I then can't even go in the
folder and create a directory using mkdir. Same error:
mkdir: cannot create directory `New': Input/output error
I have to reboot the machine. Trying to unmount it gives me a "device is
busy" error:
umount: /home/myuser/home: device is busy
that's why I'm confused... is it the other drives causing the problems?
or is it the this drive.... Cause the other drives are now working fine
copying files even through Samba... GRRRR I'm getting so frustrated.
I reformatted the thing (mke2fs -c /dev/hdg1) and checked for bad blocks
and it was fine.
hmmm.. ok, I just rebooted. cd'd into the drive and did a ls -la:
/bin/ls: Korn - Did my Time.mp3: Input/output error
The files I copied over now give me that error.... can't delete em...
gotta reformat again.
What's my first step now?
(I apologize for having to post so many times on probably a trivial
issue but I'm so lost here)
