[fatal error] cannot pread pack file: Input/output error

[sunny110]

Hi;
I hope this is the right place for my question.

I wanna build GoldenDict from source, however I get a fattal error when I
try to clone the repository.

Here is the recorded session:

    sunny@s9:~/Programs/goldendict$ git clone
git://github.com/goldendict/goldendict.git
    Cloning into 'goldendict'...
    remote: Reusing existing pack: 11370, done.
    remote: Counting objects: 7, done.
    remote: Compressing objects: 100% (7/7), done.
    remote: Total 11377 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0)
    Receiving objects: 100% (11377/11377), 27.17 MiB | 11 KiB/s, done.
    fatal: cannot pread pack file: Input/output error
    fatal: index-pack failed 

So what's the problem? could anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

At the point you see that message, git has received the whole contents
from the remote side and written them to disk. It's then trying to read
back the data it just wrote to do some checks on it. However, your
filesystem has reported a low-level I/O error, which may indicate a
disk problem or filesystem corruption.

Is it possible that your disk is dying?
