I'm trying to remove a directory called cc by running the command rm -rf cc, but it has trouble removing a file inside the directory.



I get the following error:



rm: cannot remove 'boy.mp4' : Input/output error


Does anyone know how to solve this issue?




linux rm

    Is this on an ntfs filesystem by any chance?

Your file system probably has some errors on it. If it's NTFS, you can run chkdsk on Windows to fix it, otherwise, you should try running fsck on it.



fsck can't run on an active file system, so if the file is on it, you'll need to boot to a live system to fix it, or force the system to do it on boot with sudo touch /forcefsck

            How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
