ntfsfix fix NTFS not mount from Linux

-

Introduction

Encountering issues with mounting an NTFS-formatted external USB drive on Fedora 32 is a common problem for Linux users. This typically happens due to file system errors or compatibility issues between Linux and NTFS. Fortunately, Linux provides powerful tools like ntfsfix to resolve these issues effectively.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of identifying the problem, fixing the corrupted NTFS filesystem, and ensuring your external USB drive works seamlessly on Fedora 32. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced Linux user, this solution will help you troubleshoot and resolve NTFS drive mounting issues with ease.

How to Fix Corrupted NTFS External USB Drive on Fedora 32

Step 1: Install Required Packages

First, install the ntfs-3g and ntfsprogs packages on your Fedora system to ensure you have the necessary tools for working with NTFS partitions.

Run the following command: 

sudo dnf install ntfs-3g ntfsprogs

Step 2: Identify Your External USB Drive

To identify the device address of your external USB drive, use one of the following commands:

sudo fdisk -l
# or
lsblk -f

The output device is /dev/sdXY (where X and Y are the letter of the drive's device and Y is the partition number). 
So in my case /dev/sdc1 is usb  drive external NTFS formatted. you will replace "device name" with your windows partition ( ex: /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdd1 .v.v)

Step 3: Fix Corrupted NTFS Filesystem

Once you've identified the device, open your terminal and run the ntfsfix command to fix the corrupted NTFS filesystem. Replace /dev/sdc1 with the correct partition for your drive.

[HuuPV@DevopsRoles ~]$ sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdc1

You should see output similar to this: 

Mounting volume... $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0).
FAILED
Attempting to correct errors...
Processing $MFT and $MFTMirr...
Reading $MFT... OK
Reading $MFTMirr... OK
Comparing $MFTMirr to $MFT... FAILED
Correcting differences in $MFTMirr record 0...OK
Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully.
Setting required flags on partition... OK
Going to empty the journal ($LogFile)... OK
Checking the alternate boot sector... OK
NTFS volume version is 3.1.
NTFS partition /dev/sdc1 was processed successfully.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you've successfully fixed your NTFS external USB drive that wouldn't mount on Fedora 32 using the ntfsfix command. This solution should help you restore access to your NTFS partitions on Linux systems.Thank you for reading the huuphan.com page!
