Incomplete multi-sector transfer: magic: 0x58444e49  size: 4096  usa_ofs: 40  usa_count: 5  data: 45533  usn: 45532: Input/output error

Failed to mount '/dev/sdc1': No such file or directory

pls if you know how to fix it help me

the flash is 32g and its usb 3.1, its NTFS

a hardware defect ? can you check this possibility first while using the flash-drive on a different hardware ?
is the drive connected direct or through an hub ?

this flash was used in a ms-windows system last time ?

7

no actually for the first time that i used the flash on the manjaro it was good and i copied a video on it but the next time that i wanted to open the flash i see this error

8

did you used the option to unmount the drive before you released it ? my suspicion is that you just ejected the flash and the drive wasn’t finished completely. in this case the data is corrupted.

yeah maybe you are right but i dont remeber good

If you are going to reformat it, exFat is something you might want to look into. Supports big files and has better support integration than ntfs on linux.
