ntfsfix - fix common errors and force Windows to check NTFS
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
