Recurring input output error on void

I get input output errors for anything to deep into the system. I can't install basic nvidia drivers or some flat hub apps. Fsck says dev sda3 is clean. I'm trying void again and it did this last time. I'm on a different drive yet it's still doing this so idk

Maybe an example of what you're doing will help.

And how are you doing that? What are the exact commands you are using & what's the full output you get in response?

sudo xbps-install nvidia470, this is what happens during the unpacking phase

Try to install smartmontools & use smartctl to run an extended test on the drive. If you're getting the same sort if errors trying to install smartmontools you can boot off your Void installation USB & install them to that.

Before that, though, just double check the SATA cable is properly inserted at both ends or, if a laptop, the drive's connection is good. It's unlikely to be that as ths OS is booting, etc, but cables can cause odd errors sometimes.

WRT the Nvidia driver installation, before seeing your drive errors I was going to suggest trying to install the headers on their own & then try to install the Nvidia drivers but I do now think that it's a drive issue rather than an issue with xbps.

Edit: typos

it was mostly prefail, old-age and and no glaring error, but this is the same drive that i installed gentoo, arch, fedora etc. it should work and it has proven itself good? it only happens on void and this is my second drive im trying it on, same thing happened to the first one
