.SH SYNOPSIS

.B ntfsfix
|
||||
.I device
|
||||
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
This manual page documents briefly the
|
||||
.B ntfsfix
|
||||
command.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
|
||||
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics,
|
||||
.\" respectively.
|
||||
\fBntfsfix\fP is a program that fixes NTFS partitions altered in any
|
||||
manner with the Linux NTFS driver. \fBntfsfix\fP is \fBNOT\fP a Linux
|
||||
version of chkdsk. It only tries to leave the NTFS partition in a
|
||||
not-so-inconsistent state after the NTFS driver has written to it.
|
||||
\fBntfsfix\fP is a utility that fixes some common NTFS problems.
|
||||
\fBntfsfix\fP is \fBNOT\fP 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.
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
\fBntfsfix\fP appeared because MS chkdsk is well known for its
|
||||
stupidity when fixing altered partitions. Because the main problems
|
||||
are journal files, \fBntfsfix\fP aims to fix those issues.
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
Running ntfsfix after mounting NTFS partitions read-write is recommended
|
||||
for reducing the chance of severe data loss when NT/W2K/XP tries to remount
|
||||
the affected partition(s).
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
In order to use \fBntfsfix\fP you must unmount the NTFS partition, and run
|
||||
ntfsfix device, where device is the NTFS partition. After this, you can
|
||||
safely reboot into NT/W2K/XP. Please note that \fBntfsfix\fP is not a
|
||||
chkdsk-like tool, and so is not guaranteed that it could fix all the
|
||||
alterations provoked by the NTFS driver.
|
||||
|
||||
You may run
|
||||
.B ntfsfix
|
||||
on an NTFS volume if you think it's damaged and it can't be mounted.
