I get the following Input/output error

Any ideas ?

Looks like my file system was corrupt.

I ran e2fsck and rebooted – all fine now.

I’d say that was good, because it looked inexplicable otherwise. 🙂

Hi Sonic … this looks to be exactly the same issue as I currently have – how exactly did you run e2fsck as I need to do the same and can’t quite work it out (also using an NSLU2 and have an issue with the same file).

Thanks.

[sonichouse]

Lokking through my bash history I found these commands

e2fsck -n -v /dev/sda1

e2fsck -p -v /dev/sda1

The first just checks without making changes to the fle system.

The second command performs the check.

I hope this works for you.

Cheers Steve – Tried those and got messages about pointers being screwed up so did a bare “e2fsck /dev/sda1” and rebooted which seems to have sorted the problem. A lot of errors got fixed including the one with the pidfile. On reboot mt-daapd has come up a treat. Thanks for the help fella …. pointed me in the right direction.

Glad to hear it worked 😆

I was pulling what is left of my hair out when it happened to me .. I couldn’t bear to be without my tunes.

craaazy. surprised that happened to two people. 🙂

That’s what I thought when I saw Steve’s post …. same file, same symptoms and same logfile readout. In a strange way I was happy to see that someone else had the same problem … especially as he had got it working again 😉

Once the unit had done its e2fsck (with me answering ‘yes’ to every question) I just rebooted the unit and everything came up perfectly (I have mt-daapd set to autostart) … I was surprised at this as I thought I would need to reinstall mt-daapd as a minimum.

I’ve got the same problem – running svn 1586 – I’m running the checks at the moment – never had a problem before – weird – I’ll post if it works
