Remove a folder I created in /system/lib I have root access and am able to remount. I created a folder in /system/lib/ named rfsa, but I don't know why I cannot see or open that folder.

When I type ls, it is there. But when I type ls -l, I get this error

lstat './rfsa' failed: I/O error.


The first time I get this error, I have to reboot and root and remount again. 
Also, if I try rmdir /system/lib/rfsa/ (I created this folder myself), I get this error

rmdir: rfsa: Read-only file system


Any ideas what can I try?



Here it is before the ls -l command:

/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system /system ext4 rw,seclabel,relatime,discard,data=ordered 0 0


After ls -l and getting the error, it changes to:

/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system /system ext4 ro,seclabel,relatime,discard,data=ordered 0 0




I don't have busybox, but the first time I try mount -w -o remount -t ext4 /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system /system, nothing is changed. After I get the file I/O error, this time I get:

mount: Read-only file system


Here is the cat /proc/mounts output, before I try to access the bad folder:

If you have a busybox you can try

busybox mount /system -o rw,remount


or use system mount command:

mount -w -o remount -t ext4 /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system /system
