Well just a month ago, I used ntfs-3g and fuse to work with an external HDD on Fedora Core 6, a few days ago system cannot save files on my external HDD, I unmount HDD, and restart and it was the solution, but now I can't create directories, the message is: mkdir: no se puede crear el directorio /media/mount_point_i_believe/directory/directory_to_create error de entrada/salida I typed the command : dmesg at terminal

This is just I could copy from Terminal, I don't know if it could be full info, for your attention, thanks so much :)
I would tend to think that the drive is failing, and you may have to return it for repair if it is still under warranty. If you do plan to return it and you may want to erase it's contents before you send it for repair; use hdparm to securely erase the entire drive. Read the man page of hdparm to learn how to erase it.
