help for /Input/outpur error

Hi all,

I mounted a directory "work" using mount command and then unmounted after i finished my work. Now when i am trying to run a command like

$ find / -name nameoffile

it says

#find: /mnt/work: Input/output error.

If anyone can help on this?

Thanks ..

Maybe it is not umounted correctly. Check with a plain "mount" if you can see it. Mount and umount it again and try to start a "find" again.
If the problem persists and you don't need it anymore, delete it and try again.

Memory corruption? Memory should be cleared when rebooted so... Which OS are you on?
