hello everyone,
i am running slackware 11. with the aid of a ntfs-3g driver i am able to mount an ntfs external hard disk..
the problem is somewhat more general than just with the diff command, ie it has happened to me also while trying to copy data FROM as well as TO this ntfs disk...
i have recently installed the latest ntfs-3g driver but the problem existed from before....
now here the latest occurence of the problem

diff: nass_book/winmx/Blockhead.-.Music.By.Cavelight.+.Ltd.Ed.Bonus.Disc.rar: Input/output error

folder winmx is in a reiserfs RAIDed partition, and nass_WDbook/winmx is in the external ntfs disk...
after this happens, i can no longer access the drive..

but i can still umount it...!

then, if i try to mount it again, it fails
i have to BOTH switch off the drive, unplug the eSATA cable, switching it ON and plug the cable again in... and it will still not be able to provide a file descriptor for the file (i wont get the /dev/sdf1 that is)
i repeat the step of switching off and unpluging and finally im able to get the /dev/sdf1 again and mount it...
if i do repeat the 'diff' i am sure to get the same input/output error but certainly NOT while accessing the same file...
so it is probably not smth wrong with a specific file...
any clues as to what might be happening?
thank you in advance for your help
nass
