internal 2.5" hdd input/output error can no longer see contents
Ok - I'm going back to paper and pencil.
I got this drive. I moved a maga bunch of stuff onto it. then today when I plugged it in again. I can not seeing anything on it whatsoever. It is showing data space being used, just not the data itself.
I opened a term. cd into the hdd. ls
Code:
userx%slackwhere ⚡ ~ ⚡> cd /run/media/userx/NTFS-External
userx%slackwhere ⚡ NTFS-External ⚡> ls
ls: reading directory '.': Input/output error
that is what I am getting. Who is the hdd expert in here. Short of wiping it clean and reestablishing a partition. How can I fix this?

Don't know if you've already done this or not, but I would run the following command on it and see what the results are;
Code:
smartctl -t long /dev/sXX
Replace "sXX" with the actual dev name, of course.

Well it is a good thing I got coffee and something else to do
so now that I just ran this test on a partition and the entire drive, is it best to kill them and just run on on the effected partition, Instead?
which is what I think is a good idea. done. and put back into waiting state.
You have started the test now, so I'd just wait until it finishes and maybe do something else while ya wait for it. Hopefully your drive passes the test, but we won't know until later on.
