Linux Input/output error - pink and green files in command line?
#1
Hi all,

I have a problem whereby a certain few episodes won't sort properly in Sickbeard, the error always being an i/o error.

So I decided to do an ls -l on the destination folder to see if permissions were a problem, however I found something I cannot explain.

Code:
xbmc@XBMCServer:~$ ls -l /mnt/Elements/TV\ Shows/New\ Girl/Season\ 01/

the above is how it is displayed in Putty, I can only see the green files in my Samba share, does anyone have any idea what is going on please?

thanks in advance.
sorry this post did not format correctly. Essentially the file names with loads of questionmarks where the permissions should be are in pink, and cannot be seen by Samba, and the ones with correct permissions e.g. -rwxrwxrwx are in green and I can see these properly through Samba.

What does the listing look like on the server where the files are located?

by listing, do you mean the result of ls -l? if so, that's what I did it on! I Putty'd to my server and did ls -l on the directory in question.

Is that what you mean? thanks for the response.

Have you tried settings the permissions on the ones with question marks?

when I try to run "chmod -R 0777 "Season 01"" it says "input/output error" for the problem files (the pink ones)

Are you running the chmod through putty or locally? It shouldn't matter, but you may want to try changing the permissions locally.

Also is this an internal hard drive in your media center or an external drive?

I'll try locally tomorrow, thanks for the advice.

I'm trying to change the permissions through Putty.

It's an external drive.
