I don't know about the numbers, but "input/output error" typically means
it's having problems reading something from a disk. The fact that it's not
giving you a sensible error message indicates that it's a really unusual
problem. "getcwd()" is a function that returns the current working
directory, so I'd start there. Do the commands ls /media/jjj/Movies/ and ls
/media/jjj/Synology return normal-looking output?
