I/O error - encrypted USB install

[JF1980]

Hi,

I have an encrypted thumbdrive install of BTR2 set up using the howto guide. It's been working fine but I tried to update framework3 and kept getting an I/O error for one of the .svn directories in /opt.

I tried to remove framework3 both by manually deleting the files and using apt-get. Both failed with the same I/O error.

Guessing this is due to bad blocks or a filesystem problem?

How do I fix this? My first action would be to mount the root fs using another Linux box and run an fsck - the problem is I don't know how to mount the encrypted fs on my Ubuntu machine (and don't know what to google for - sorry). Also not sure whether this would deal with bad sectors?

Any guidance appreciated.

Thanks.

You should probably include the exact text of the errors you are getting.

Not sure that it will help much but:

No hints peeps?

Can you manually delete the file which is causing the error?
