fsck failed

[trvatrva]

I have problem with my Sumsung Portable SSD T5 (SSD disk). I can't mount it in my system. I wrote in bash:

sudo fsck /dev/sdb1

and reply is:

fsck from util-linux 2.41.3
fsck: fsck.ntfs not found; ignore /dev/sdb1

Can you help me to fix my SSD Disk by fsck.

There isn't an fsck for ntfs because it's not a Linux file system.

I assume you are sharing this device with a Windows machine so use that to attempt repair.

AI Overview

The fsck command is ignoring /dev/sdb1 because Linux does not have a standard filesystem check utility called fsck.ntfs natively mapped to its automatic checking tool. The fsck wrapper wrapper utility only knows how to handle native Linux filesystems (like ext4) out of the box.
You can fix this error and successfully check or repair your NTFS drive using two different methods:

Method 1: Use ntfsfix (Recommended)

Instead of relying on fsck, you should use ntfsfix. This tool comes bundled with standard NTFS drivers in Ubuntu/Kubuntu and is specifically designed to handle basic NTFS inconsistencies and clean up dirty volume flags.

• Open your terminal.

• Run the following command directly on your partition:

sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1
