fsck an ntfs partition

Tried 'sudo ntfsfix /dev/$part'?

Note, that it is impossible to fsck NTFS with linux. ntfsfix marks only the ntfs journal, so that Windows checks it at next bootup.

You *could* try to force mount it, but you will risk data lose doing so
'sudo ntfs-3g /dev/$part /mnt/$mountpoint -o force'

Hi, thanks for trying. I keep getting an error message ...

 sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

ntfsprogs is already the newest version.

 ntfsresize -fi /dev/sda8
The program 'ntfsresize' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs
bash: ntfsresize: command not found

I've tried to install and use the packages on my jaunty here and it works fine, right after installation i can use it via 'sudo ntfsresize...'

Sorry, i can not redproduce your installerwarning... no idea.

Thanks for trying, much appreciated :)

     I see this is still open. It's true that Linux isn't made to fix an NTFS partition and you are better off doing it in Windows. You created it and use it in Windows, right (honest question)? The manual page on fsck itself says "fsck - check and repair a Linux file system".
     If your asking what the Windows equivalent is, go to Windows, right-click the drive, and find the tool that checks & repairs errors.

Thanks Larry but the error message

fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found

suggests that there's some plugin or lib that might add this functionality to fsck?

Ooops, wrong button

No at the moment, there is not... but maybe it'll be some day...

Read again: http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfsck
"ntfsck is not yet available."

Regards.

Thanks Sebastian Gurkasch, that solved my question.
