I am facing a peculiar problem for the first time. One of the partition in the hard drive shows empty, but it has all the contents. Please see the attached file.

When I searched folders on the same partition it displays all the contents of that particular folder. But it is not displaying the first content page.

I tried through terminal but it shows following error;

$ ls /mnt/data/

ls: reading directory '/mnt/data/': Input/output error

Please help to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance RB

  • Have you tried simply rebooting Ubuntu? – You'reAGitForNotUsingGit Jul 17 '17 at 11:53
  • An input/output error usually indicates a hardware fault. I wouldn't say this is 100% certain, but I suggest you start by looking at SMART data on the disk. You could also try replacing cables. – Rod Smith Jul 18 '17 at 15:01

    Reboot doesn't work. I did Smart test both short and extended, but no changes. When I do search through Dash I can see some files and folder, but not all. I can copy thos files also. But I could not search certain important data. What should I do to retrieve my data? Thanks Ramesh
