I try to move a folder to another one, but this error appears:

mv: cannot stat 'Anim': Input/output error

I even can not open that directory in file manager. Why this happens?

  • If this on an ext partition or NTFS? – Delorean Mar 21 '17 at 16:05
  • @Dorian it's an external hard disk with NTFS format. – SirSaleh Mar 21 '17 at 16:08
  • You can try to install ntfsfix with sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g and then you can run sudo ntfsfix /dev/(device name) on the drive. With any fix like this, be aware that it could result in data loss. This is why backups are important before it's too late. – Delorean Mar 21 '17 at 16:16
  • thank you for your advice. But it give this error disk is corrupted. So I back up my files and then I formated my disk with gparted. – SirSaleh Mar 21 '17 at 19:46
  • So unfortunately, it looks like it was toast anyways. Glad you were at least able to copy the data, that's the important part! – Delorean Mar 22 '17 at 14:18
