OS X Yosemite Hard Disk Errors even after Repairing them Basically, I do a lot of C programming (for class) so I use gcc a lot on my mac. Recently since two days, whenever I ran it, the entire computer is getting frozen, and a force restart is necessary to get it working again.

So I suspected what might be the error, so I ran disk-utility and checked Yosemite partition for errors. Apparently there are a lot of errors, so I booted into single user mode, and ran the following commands.

$ fsck -fy
$ fsck -fy
$ reboot


Upon reboot, my disk is now repaired, but the computer still froze when I ran gcc So this time, I ran a permissions verification in the disk utility. It said the following.

Verifying permissions for “Yosemite”
Open error 22: “Invalid argument” on usr/bin/gatherheaderdoc
Open error 22: “Invalid argument” on usr/bin/gcc
Open error 22: “Invalid argument” on usr/bin/gcov
Open error 22: “Invalid argument” on usr/bin/git


I tried to repair the permissions, but these persist. I even tried repairing the permissions multiple times, even from RecoveryHD and also from single user mode, but these errors persist.

What do these mean? What should I do to fix it?

Edit:

Here's the output of ls -l usr/bin/gcc

Harshas-Mac-Pro:~ sriharshachilakapati$ ls -l /usr/bin/gcc
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  14160 Sep 27 07:36 /usr/bin/gcc

Edit:

My partition is again damaged. This is the output after I just repaired it from single-user mode.

This occurred just after I had repaired my partition from single user mode. Why?
error 22 is the EINVAL in libc error codes. Maybe your glibc is corrupted? I think you can reinstall it from Xcode based on this question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9353444/how-to-use-install-gcc-on-mac-os-x-10-8-xcode-4-4
