On second thought, try running fsck (more or less the Linux equivalent of scandisk) before wiping out all your music. Maybe it can fix the filesystem.


Yes, do that. And do what Tony suggested, and use direct cut-and-paste for these things. MUCH less error-prone, especially for a demonstrably error-prone person.

If the fsck doesn't work out for you, then you can "fix it" rather quickly, losing all music, with something like this:

Again, hit control^C to get a command (shell) prompt first. Then do:

Code:
cd /
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
umount /dev/hda4
mke2fs -m 0 -s 1 -i 131072 /dev/hda4
tune2fs -c 0 -i 0 /dev/hda4
mount -n /dev/hda4 /drive0 -orw
player -i
mount -n /dev/hda4 /drive0 -oremount,ro

## wait for it to finish rebuilding databases, then hit control^C and continue:

swapoff -a
exit
