Hello,
I am transferring files from one hard drive to another. I am getting the error 36 code and the culprit is always a numpy ".npy" file. I ran dot_clean on the hard drive but that doesn't help, which makes sense because it isn't a "._" file causing the problem. The file causing the problem is always called "x_train_80_20.npy." There's no "._" in it.
If anybody has any insight it would be highly appreciated.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12.3)
The first thing that I would recommend is mounting the drive, and then running Disk Utility to apply first aid to that drive. If first aid completes with green, then the next paragraph, otherwise report back what it says here.
Then try the file transfer of just that particular .npy file using the same technique as before. If the I/O error persists, then that file is probably perched on a bad spot on the drive, and you should be looking for another copy of that particular file. If the I/O error reoccurs, but with a different filename, then the drive is failing.
Do you happen to have DiskWarrior v5?
First Aid came back green. Tried transferring the single file, and the same problem occurred. It doesn't happen with any other file, even one named "x_test_80_20.npy." If it's any use, it's a 3D numpy array.
All of these give the same solution that I already stated I tried.
What are the file permissions, and ownership of that numpy file?
In the Terminal, can you transfer that numpy file using ditto?
ditto /Volumes/srcdrive/x_test_80_20.npy ~/Desktop
Will try this and report back, thanks.
Terminal said: "x_train_80_20.npy: Input/output error"

Clarification question - is that the only file type you have trouble with when copying to the other drive?
Yes that's the only file. It's weird because other files are being transferred with similar names work just fine (x_test_80_20.npy, y_train_80_20.npy, y_test_80_20.npy)
That file may be corrupt. Can you use/open the file?
Yes I can open and use it just fine
Then save it or export it to another location and then see if you can copy it over. Or just save it to the drive you were copying it to.
