.SH NAME
|

ntfsfix \- tool for fixing NTFS partitions altered by the Linux kernel NTFS driver.
|
||
.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.
|
||
.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.
