When I try to delete the file, I get `Structure needs cleaning`

Help
1

I’m using nvf and when I updated flake for it, I got an error:

 error: creating a blob object for tarball member '/nvf-3a28d05684f7f4e314eb4e56a5af624b648ab278/modules/plugins/visuals/fidget-nvim/fidget. nix': failed to rename lockfile to '/root/.cache/nix/tarball-cache/objects/fa/2ecb44bae721d6c24152a7eff2a6b5b5bf8baa13': Structure needs cleaning

Thought “maybe deleting this will help me” and got: rm: unable to delete '/root/.cache/nix/tarball-cache/objects/fa/2ecb44bae721d6c24152a7eff2a6b5bf8baa13': Structure needs cleaning.
There are no problems with just deleting anything else

Please share your flake.lock and the output of nix --version.

‘Structure needs cleaning’ is a filesystem error, not something from Nix. You probably need to unmount the device that holds /root (or boot from a live CD) and run an fsck.
