NAME
       ntfsfix - fix common errors and force operating system to check NTFS

SYNOPSIS
       ntfsfix [options] device

DESCRIPTION
       The  ntfsfix  utility  fixes some common NTFS problems. Note that it is
       not a version of chkdsk. It repairs some fundamental NTFS  inconsisten‐
       cies,  resets the NTFS  journal file, and schedules an NTFS consistency
       check for the next reboot of the operating system.

       Run ntfsfix on an NTFS volume if you think it was damaged by the	 oper‐
       ating system or in some other way and it cannot be mounted.
