While running a simple backup using a basic rdiff-backup command such as: # rdiff-backup /DataDrive /BackupDrive
Got a pair of message lines in the error log for a few "problem" files. Each problem file had two lines similar to the following: ListError Directory/file01.jpg [Errno 5] Input/output error UpdateError Directory/file01.jpg rdiff-backup.tmp.1234 [Errno 5] Input/output error
The title is pretty self explanatory, I was just wondering how to overcome this error, if I can...

I'm trying to install Wine on Fedora 13, I tried installing it from the "Add/Remove Software Repository" but the installation fails, I tried installing it from the Terminal using the following command as root: "yum install wine"
Here's the output I get:
Code:
I am trying to install v 10.04.1 and it works up till 34% and then it gives me that error. So annoying and i don't have any other OS's.
I am posting this from a bootable 9.10 CD which doesnt even partition right.
I have a 64 bit CPU but i downloaded 32 bit ubuntu.
I've managed to boot up ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64 using PXE, but when the installer is copying the files it fails. I've md5sum checked the iso and it is OK.

This is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard disk. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed, to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often available from electronics suppliers), to check whether the hard disk is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler environment.
Everytime I attempt to Install Ubuntu or Mint, I get the above error and I am unsure as to why it keeps happening. I read on other forums it can be due to your optical drive so I tried 4 different burners and 3 different types of CD's.
I know they work fine because I use them for other PC's. I've used them on windows XP, Vista, 7 and Mandriva Linux without a single problem. It's only when attempting to install Ubuntu or Mint that I get these errors and it happens every time.
In the error it also mentions that their may be a problem with your HDD, but I've used that HDD for windows xp through its whole life, I only just reformatted earlier in an attempt to install Linux.
Laptop: Compact Presario C706NR Notebook Pc. Ive just tried to install Ubuntu 10.04 and unluckily failed... Ive checked the hard disk and it has responded error: 1files. [Errno 5] Input/output error
I'm running it on a USB. at the moment im using it as my comp. my windows vista is gone. Id like to fully install any recommendations?
I've been experiencing a problem when I try to install Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 on my girlfriend's notebook. In the middle of the installation process a window pops-up saying "[Errno 5] input/output error". This has happened with both versions and I can't get through it, no matter what.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there anywhere that gives detailed (suitable for non-experts) instructions on how to install rdiff-backup?
Only ancient versions seem to exist in any repository, which appears to rule out use of yum. Finding rpm packages also seems extremely difficult. And I'm not too clear what would be required to install from sources.
Is it possible (on lenny, in case that matters) to backup some directories with rdiff-backup, with the target being a WinXP Pro Host, i.e. the target being a SMB share? My idea is to start the XP-Box over WOL, run rdiff-backup and then shut it down using "net rpc SHUTDOWN"...
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe problem here is that in my ubuntu desktop pc, the repositories contain the latest rdiff (1.2.8), but in my debian server, the repositories contain v1.2.5.
I get an error that the versions are different, therefore I need to compile v1.2.8 in debian myself and I have really no idea how to do that.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got a backup.list file that looks like this:
+ /ext/installs
+ /ext/media
- /ext
- /backup
- /dev
- /mnt
- /proc
/ext is a symlink to /mnt/vg1/vol1, under which are installs and media directories.
I'm running:
rdiff-backup --backup-mode --include-globbing-filelist backup.list / /backup
rdiff-backup keeps recreating a symlink: /backup/ext -> /mnt/vg1/vol1, which is kind of missing the point, because then it doesn't actually back up the files in /mnt/vg1/vol1/installs, etc.
I have carefully made daily backups using rdiff-backup, so in the case of needing to restore I can do so.
But I deleted a directory yesterday, and made a backup in the evening. Therefore, the directory is not in the latest mirror, but in the incremental backup from yesterday.
Now I need to restore the directory. But I cannot figure out how to!
I can see the directory in yesterday's incremental backup; i.e., the following works:
Code:
Where [backupdir] is the backup (mirror) directory, and [nameofdir] is the name of the directory I'm trying to restore.
So, I have tried to restore. This is the type of thing I have tried:
Code:
Where to-restore.lst holds the name of the directory to restore (in rdiff-backup's format) and [restoredir]is where I want the restored directory to go to.
But, I get errors like:
Code:
Useful file specifications begin with the base directory or some pattern (such as '**') which matches the base directory. Well, obviously the file specification doesn't exist in the [restoredir]. That's because I'm trying to restore it! If I try to create an empty directory first, it complains:
Code:
How do I restore a deleted directory from a previous day's backup to a designated destination?
i unplugged the wrong machine during an rdiff-backup run, and when i try to ssh to that machine now, i get 'connection refused'. the machine was set up with ssh-copy-id before the accidental unplug.

My dad is out of town for a while, so I've been using his computer to rip my DVDs with Handbrake. He has Windows Vista installed, so I did a full installation of Fedora 13 on a thumb drive and just run everything off of that. However, when I went to delete some of the encoded videos after I had moved them to my computer, I got a system error that said 'can't delete files: I/O error.' Now, if I try to boot up Windows, his computer is stuck on a black screen checking a bunch of dlls. He'll be back in a couple of weeks, so I'd like to have it fixed by then.

We are running an C++ application in AWS EC2 instance (CentOS 5.4) mounted with an EBS Volume (say /mymountpoint). We do more simultaneous writes to the EBS Volume from our application. But at some point we get 'ERROR: Input/output error'. After this, 'ls -l /mymountpoint' command itself fails with the i/o error. The filesystem which we use for the EBS Volume is xfs. I unmounted the drive and done xfs_check and again mounted the drive. Now, everything seems to be working fine. But the issue still persists everytime when we do simultaneous writes.
I believe the following details will be useful,

I am getting the same thing on my laptop running Mandriva, oddly enough. Two different drives, two different computers, two different distros and multiple DVDs.
When running rsnapshot tonight it failed with a bunch of
cannot remove `file': Input/output error
errors.
I navigated to the directory and tried to delete it manually and I got the same errors. I tried with 'sudo rm directory'. How else can I delete this directory? What would cause a situation like this?
I'm either missing the obvious or have four identically defective tape drives. Each is a Seagate or IBM Travan drive (yes, I know they're old and I need to access the data; they were in Win boxes) using QIC-80/DC-2120 media. I've been trying to solve this using three Fedora boxes (different versions) and one Debian machine.
The OS's recognize the drives and they show up as /dev/st0.
With no media in the drives, I get a status report; with media inserted, I get the same input/output errors.
Examples (all as root):
With tape inserted:
With no tape in drive:
With tape inserted
Everything I've found on Google suggests that the drives are defective.
I wish to know what could be the possible cases for this error:cp: reading `filename': Input/output errorI am getting this message when I am trying to copy a big file of around 50MB.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI use the growisofs command from the terminal to do most of my burning. Mostly because i burn almost the exact same type of file every time so its pretty easy to set up. I've done this dozens of times and never once had a problem before. I loved it because it was so much simpler than doing this in windows where i would need to install a few extra programs and codecs. That was up until today where it started failing every single time i tried to burn something.
For some reason every time i try to burn a disc it gives me this error message:
Code:
I'm really at a loss as to why this is happening. Every thread i found that discussed this problem was mostly focused on k3b or brasero and never really answered the question. As far as i know nothing has been updated since the last time i burned a disc a few days ago. Everything is exactly the same as it was when it worked. The only thing i could think of that might have caused this sudden failure is that i flashed the firmware of another cd drive using the same sata port that this drive is currently plugged into, but that was in windows so i dont see how it could have affected this drive.
