[SOLVED] [Manjaro XFCE] Trying to mount an SSD but gives me a "Failed to mount" error
[SOLVED] [Manjaro XFCE] Trying to mount an SSD but gives me a "Failed to mount" error
I'm trying to mount one of my SSDs on my systems but it gives me this error when trying to mount from File System: "Failed to mount "New Volume" - No object for D-Bus interface." If I go into Gparted and check the description of the device in question it gives me this: $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 3). Failed to mount '/dev/nvme0n1p2': Input/output error NTFS is inconsistent. Run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot it TWICE! The usage of the /f parameter is very IMPORTANT! No modification was made to NTFS by this software.
Failed to open '/dev/nvme0n1p2'.
$MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 3). Failed to mount '/dev/nvme0n1p2': Input/output error NTFS is inconsistent. Run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot it TWICE! The usage of the /f parameter is very IMPORTANT! No modification was made to NTFS by this software.
Unable to read the contents of this file system! Because of this some operations may be unavailable. The cause might be a missing software package. The following list of software packages is required for ntfs file system support: ntfs-3g / ntfsprogs.
If I run fsck -l in the terminal It returns this:
fsck from util-linux 2.40.1 e2fsck 1.47.0 (5-Feb-2023) ext2fs_open2: Bad magic number in super-block fsck.ext2: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks... fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/nvme0n1
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device> or e2fsck -b 32768 <device>
/dev/nvme0n1 contains DOS/MBR boot sector MS-MBR Windows 7 english at offset 0x163 "Invalid partition table" at offset 0x17b "Error loading operating system" at offset 0x19a "Missing operating system"; partition 1 : ID=0xee, start-CHS (0x0,0,2), end-CHS (0x30,254,63), startsector 1, 4294967295 sectors' data
Any advice? Thanks in advance.
Edit: I have since solved this issue with the help of @[email protected]. For anyone having a similar problem, the comment thread that led to the eventual solution is down below.
The following list of software packages is required for ntfs file system support: ntfs-3g / ntfsprogs.
First of all, make sure you install
ntfsprogs-ntfs3from the AUR (this package doesn't install the old/buggyntfs-3gdriver).Once it's installed, you can then then attempt to fix drive using
sudo ntfsfix /dev/nvme0n1p2 --clear-dirty.Run it a second time to verify, and that should do the trick. No need to boot into Windows.
Btw, in case you're mounting this drive manually, make sure you specify
-t ntfs3, otherwise it'd use the old/buggyntfs-3gdriver - which we don't want. In fact, I'd say get rid ofntfs-3gif you've got it - no point keeping it around if you're on a recent kernel.I went ahead tried this but got an error when using
makepkg -si:/home/[username]/ntfsprogs-ntfs3/PKGBUILD: line 45: autoreconf: command not found==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().Aborting...I went to file in question and line 45 says this:
autoreconf -vfi
Stop trying to fsck a ntfs files system. Boot into windows and run chkdsk /f then reboot windows twice, like the program and the other person said.
Do you have ntfsprogs installed and can you confirm that the partition has an ntfs file system?
That's the thing: I don't have Windows installed on that SSD. I double checked.
Oh if you are sure it’s an ext file system, point fsck at the backup superblock with -b [block number].
Your fsck error says -b 8193 but id do -b 32768 instead. Just historically I’ve found more backup super blocks there.
This is one of those threads that I'm saving to my read-it-later app of choice because you never know. Awesome work, d3Xt3r.
