one month ago i updated from kernel 5.10 to 6.1. so i automaticaly switched from ntfs-3g to ntfs3.
thought thats a good thing ;-(
for compatitbility with other os i have some large external disks with ntfs.
last week while copying from one of those disks, the copying process dropped from ~> 100mb/s to ~< 1mb/s.
i waited patiently to finish the process and unmounted the disk. after that the ntfs partiton appears corrupted. under windows 10 shown as raw.
same happend with another disk today ! thats realy bad !
each of those disks also have ext4 partitions that are intact.
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/ext
leads to:
ntfs_mst_post_read_fixup_warn: magic: 0x00000000 size: 4096 usa_ofs: 0 usa_count: 0: Das Argument ist ungĂĽltig
Corrupt index block signature: vcn 40 inode 5
Failed to open $Secure: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
testdisk is able to look into that ntfs partiton but one realy large folder is missing.
i am able to mount with
sudo mount -t ntfs3 -o force /dev/sda1 /media/ext
but can only look into the partition with the terminal. dolphin is showing an blank folder.
sudo ls -al /media/ext
again some files and folders are missing
for an example:
ls: Zugriff auf '/media/ext/$RECYCLE.BIN' nicht möglich: Das Argument ist ungültig
ls: das Verzeichnis '/media/ext' wird gelesen: Das Argument ist ungĂĽltig
dmesg
[110673.566308] ntfs3: sda1: ino=5, "/" directory corrupted
so i wonder whats the best method in this particular case to recover those large ntfs partitions ?
just to rebuild a file index, partition table with testdisk ?
i dont dare to use windows chkdsk as it always seemed to be unpredictable.
and whats the proper procedure to revert back to ntfs-3g ?
thank you
