I have a directory that is causing an I/O error when I try to run a find on the / filesystem.. it turns out the find is working but dies with an I/O error when it hits the below directory:

/var/sadm/SUNWkvm/install/copyright

if I go into that directory, you can't do anything.. theres no "." Or ".." directory in there. You can't rmdir the copydir directory either because it says it's not empty. I haven't tried rm -rf because I'm not sure if theres anything important in there. It's a patch right?

What would you do next? Run fsck on the filesystem? Erase it anyways?
