===Repairing N.T. File-systems===
- if a N.T.F.S. has errors on it NTFS-3G will mount it as read-only
- to fix a N.T.F.S. load Microsoft Windows and run its disk checking program
- to repair a file system without booting Microsoft Windows the device must first be un-mounted; e.g. to fix a N.T.F.S. partition residing at /dev/sda2: %%# umount /dev/sda2
# ntfsfix /dev/sda2
Mounting volume... OK
Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully.
NTFS volume version is 3.1.
NTFS partition /dev/sda2 was processed successfully.
# mount /dev/sda2%%
If all went well, the partition will now be writable.
