When going trough fs via find, it shows multiple i/o errors. Even file in root of the filesystem displays an i/o error. My idea was that if i could locate the mystical directory #248447030 , i could erase it/recreate it and be happy a) how do i locate b) what do i do now :) -- Yay! I've got a flying machine!
