NTFSFIX(8) System Manager's Manual NTFSFIX(8) NAME ntfsfix - fix common errors and force Windows to check NTFS SYNOPSIS ntfsfix [options] device DESCRIPTION ntfsfix is a utility that fixes some common NTFS problems. ntfsfix is NOT a Linux version of chkdsk. It only repairs some fundamental NTFS inconsis- tencies, resets the NTFS journal file and schedules an NTFS consistency check for the first boot into Windows. You may run ntfsfix on an NTFS volume if you think it was damaged by Win- dows or some other way and it cannot be mounted. OPTIONS Below is a summary of all the options that ntfsfix accepts. Nearly all op- tions have two equivalent names. The short name is preceded by - and the long name is preceded by --. Any single letter options, that don't take an argument, can be combined into a single command, e.g. -fv is equivalent to -f -v. Long named options can be abbreviated to any unique prefix of their name. -b, --clear-bad-sectors Clear the list of bad sectors. This is useful after cloning an old disk with bad sectors to a new disk. -d, --clear-dirty Clear the volume dirty flag if the volume can be fixed and mounted. If the option is not present or the volume cannot be fixed, the dirty volume flag is set to request a volume checking at next mount. -h, --help Show a list of options with a brief description of each one. -n, --no-action Do not write anything, just show what would have been done. -V, --version Show the version number, copyright and license BUGS There are no known problems with ntfsfix.
