ntfsfix

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
       inconsistencies, 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 Windows or some other way and it can't be mounted.

OPTIONS

       Below is a summary of all the options that ntfsfix accepts.  Nearly all options 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.

       -h, --help
	      Show a list of options with a brief description of each one.

       -V, --version
