In one dup of this bug the user reported that it was resolved by running chkdsk a few times in windows to repair the fs. With the attached esp image, I found that dosfsck -a detected errors but failed to repair. It seems dosfstools has a bug when it comes to saving lost chains as recovered files, and in that image, the /EFI/ubuntu directory consists of a FAT chain that contains a free cluster, which is invalid. Running dosfsck -r and saying yes a few times eventually repaired the problem.
I wonder why so many people seem to have corrupt filesystems on their ESP. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1090829 Title: grub-efi fails to install with Input/output error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dosfstools/+bug/1090829/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
