| > Your data is fine -- it's hidden while something else is mounted on top of the folder. I thought that was the case. But the truth is I don't really understand how mount points work under the hood. Where is the mount point information actually stored? I'm guessing it's in kernel memory somewhere, but I don't really know, and Googling hasn't been much help. Is there an article somewhere that explains this? > Rebooting will fix it. Good to know. > But you should be able to just unmount the filesystem Yeah, you'd think. But everything I try to do to that directory results in "Input/output error". > Does 'mount' list something mounted there? Yes: Python@fuse0 on /Users/ron/devel (fusefs, nodev, nosuid, synchronous, mounted by ron) > Does 'df /path/to/folder/' reflect the FUSE filesystem rather than the underlying filesystem? [ron@mickey:~]$ df devel
df: devel: Input/output error
[ron@mickey:~]$ umount devel
umount: devel: not currently mounted
[ron@mickey:~]$ ls devel
ls: devel: Input/output error
You can hopefully see why I'm puzzled. I would really like to understand why this is happening. |
