I have some locally stored media i was copying between drives and one mkv file gave this error error reading 'video1.mkv': Input/output error
and only copied 176/256 MiB; the copied file plays the video only up to a certain point before abruptly closing;
I can play the original file fine albeit there is a noticeable hitch at that point but the video plays normally till the end
I have tried zipping the file but it fails to zip it
I tried copying it using ffmpeg but it also gave the same error
I can copy the file in the same directory but trying to copy the copy also gives the same error
I tried copying to a variety of different storage drives and it still gave me this error any ideas?
What are the results of a scrub on the filesystem? I’m not familiar with BTRFS, but use ZFS, and a scrub is where I would start in your shoes.
I did a scrub and this is what it showed when i ran
btrfs scrub status
:Duration: 0:17:54 Total to scrub: 63.82GiB Rate: 60.85MiB/s Error summary: read=528 csum=48 Corrected: 570 Uncorrectable: 6 Unverified: 0
Aaaah that’s a drive that should go in the dumpster asap.
