(solve) Local directory:Transport endpoint is not connected

[StifflerStealth]

Hi,

I have a local directory that I am trying to delete, but I get this message:
rm -R /media/usbstick
rm: cannot remove `/media/usbstick': Transport endpoint is not connected

A ls -l output:
ls -l /media/
ls: cannot access /media/usbstick: Transport endpoint is not connected
total 8
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? usbstick
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8192 Apr 24 11:40 windows

The filesystem is ext4. How can I delete the folder? Can I hex edit it and somehow but the correct info in so it has the same stats as the windows folder? Then I would be able to at least delete it.

Thanks

Transport endpoint is not connected

This is the message you get when you mount something with sshfs and the connection breaks. What does your /etc/mtab say about /usb/mediastick?

/dev/sdc1 /media/usbstick fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0

Should I delete that line then?

This directory is on a ext4 filesystem and is local, not remote. I can't do anything with it. I keep getting that line about the transport endpoint not being connected. How can I fix this directory and remove it?

Thanks.

You need to unmount it first:

Code: Select all

fusermount -u /media/usbstick

Brilliant! Thanks. That did the trick. Thanks for your help.
