Re: [Question #78731]: fsck an ntfs partition

 

Question #78731 on Ubuntu changed:

    Status: Open => Answered

Sebastian Gurkasch proposed the following answer:
Tried 'sudo ntfsfix /dev/$part'?

Note, that it is impossible to fsck NTFS with linux. ntfsfix marks only
the ntfs journal, so that Windows checks it at next bootup.

You *could* try to force mount it, but you will risk data lose doing so
'sudo ntfs-3g /dev/$part /mnt/$mountpoint -o force'
