Have an Input/output error when connecting to a server via ssh
- by Shehzad009
Hello I seem to be having a problem while connecting to a Ubuntu Server while connecting via ssh. When I login, I get this error.
Could not chdir to home directory /home/username: Input/output error
It seems like my home folder is corrupt or something. I cannot ls in the home folder directory, and in my usename directory, I can't cd into this. As root I cannot ls in the home directory as well or in any directory in Home.
I notice as well when I save in vim or quit, it get this error at the bottom of the page
E138: Cannot write viminfo file /home/root/.viminfo!
Any ideas?
EDIT: this is what happens if I type in these commands
