When I give the command "cp file1 file2" then the error comes: cp: cannot create regular file `file2': Input/output error
This occurs sometimes and it occurs when I am giving the command inside a external hard disk which is mounted by "ntfs-3g" manually. Why does this error come?
I believe it is self explanatory. Looks like you don't have write permissions on the drive. Check your permissions.
Since when does Input/output error equate to a permissions problem? If that's the case, surely that's a bug in ntfs-3g as it's returning the wrong error code.
