Hello list, I just used parted 1.6 to make a new partition on my system with an ext3 file system and get the following error when trying to write files to it. Example: Touch test.txt Touch: cannot touch `test.txt':Input/output error I did an fsck on the file system which fixed endless amounts of errors but fsck is restarting and finding errors seemingly in the same locations on the partition and cannot fix them. Has anyone had this happen before. I should note the new partition is on the same disk containing my operating system partition if that makes a difference.
