failed downloading extra.db.tar.gz input/output error[SOLVED

Is there any problem with extra repos last few days? Every time I do "pacman -Syu" I get

error: could not cwd to /pub/archlinux/extra/os/i686/: 550 Failed to change directory.

I have tried dissabling mirrors, moving upper the clossest first but nothing. At the end extra repository fails to sync. As I can see from this line

failed downloading extra.db.tar.gz from ftp.archlinux.org: Input/output error

I can't get that file even from ftp.archlinux.org. What can I do?

Is your disk full, by chance?

Here is my disks space

[insane@arch ~]$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1              74G   37G   34G  53% /
/dev/hda1              20G  173M   19G   1% /tmp
/dev/hda3             163G   29G  126G  19% /storage
/var/lib/pacman.db    146M   20M  126M  14% /var/lib/pacman

Something I noticed was that I tried the pacman_cage script http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … light=cage twice and so I had twice the following line

/var/lib/pacman.db /var/lib/pacman ext2 loop,defaults 0 0

in /etc/fstab so /var/lib/pacman was mounted twice. I commented one of them and rebooted but still the problem persist. I also tried e2fsck from arch boot CD on sda1 which is ext3.

Edit:

Ok. I used pacman-uncage script from the link above and extra works again. So I guess it's a problem to investigate to that thread.

Thank you phrakture for pointing me to the right direction .
