I have a file (say volume.tc), which is a virtual encrypted disk. When I mount with sudo truecrypt volume.tc /mnt/v, I can access most of the files, but one file on this volume (say corruptedfilename.sh) got corrupt for some unknown reason: for example, when I call ls, it says ls: cannot open corruptedfilename.sh: Input/output error.

I tried:

  1. Using ntfsfix. I have only the mount point (/mnt/v), but ntfsfix asks for a device name (/dev/...). df -T reports filesystem type fuseblk (looks like a nickname for NTFS) and device /dev/mapper/truecrypt1. However ntfsfix /dev/mapper/truecrypt1 doesn't work (it says Refusing to operate on read-write mounted device /dev/mapper/truecrypt1.).

  2. rm /mnt/v/path/to/corruptedfilename.sh gives rm: cannot remove "/mnt/v/path/to/corruptedfilename.sh": Input/output error.

The question: Is there a way to recover corruptedfilename.sh, or at least delete it, so I would be able to create it again?
