"fsync" errors usually indicate file system corruption or damaged hard drives.

The "write" function succeeds, and we then use "fsync" to force the file to be written to disk, and that's when it discovers it can't actually write the data to disk, and we get an error.

If it's an USB archive drive:
You will need to disconnect the USB drive from the AMETHYST server and connect the USB drive to a Windows PC. Do a filesystem check and disk check (chkdsk /f /r) on the USB drive. For example if your USB drive is the 'E' drive, open a command prompt and use this command:
Code: Select all
chkdsk e: /f /r


Note: You may want to back up the archive drive before doing the checks.
