Hi All, I have a ntfs partition which I mount with ntfs-3g and fuse. Some months ago I had split a video file which thereafter bzipped:
-????????? ? ? ? ? ? rec00001xaa.bz2 -????????? ? ? ? ? ? rec00002xaa.bz2 -????????? ? ? ? ? ? rec00003xaa.bz2 -????????? ? ? ? ? ? rec00004xaa.bz2 -????????? ? ? ? ? ? rec00005xaa.bz2 -????????? ? ? ? ? ? rec00006xaa.bz2 -????????? ? ? ? ? ? rec00007xaa.bz2 -????????? ? ? ? ? ? rec00008xaa.bz2 -????????? ? ? ? ? ? rec00009xaa.bz2 -????????? ? ? ? ? ? rec00010xaa.bz2 The ??? above show me that something is amiss and the files have been corrupted. I recall deleting them (or trying to) from within MSWindows, but I couldn't do that and, of course, blamed MSWindows for it. Now I am looking at this having booted into Gentoo and I cannot delete them: ===================================== /mnt/VideoDrive $ rm rec00001xaa.bz2 rm: cannot remove `rec00001xaa.bz2': No such file or directory ===================================== shred does not work either: ===================================== $ shred -v -z -u rec00001xaa.bz2 shred: rec00001xaa.bz2: failed to open for writing: No such file or directory ===================================== This is how it has been mounted: $ mount | grep Video /dev/sda9 on /mnt/VideoDrive type fuseblk (rw,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096) Is there an application I could use to remove them and free the space on the disk, or should I run chkdisk or fsck first? I cannot afford to lose the remaining data on the disk and I do not have another disk as large to back up first. -- Regards, Mick
