NTFSLABEL(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      NTFSLABEL(8)

NAME

       ntfslabel - display/change the label on an ntfs file system

SYNOPSIS

       ntfslabel [options] device [new-label]

DESCRIPTION

       ntfslabel will display or change the file system label on the ntfs file system located on device.

       If the optional argument new-label is not present, ntfslabel will simply display the current file system label.

       If  the optional argument new-label is present, then ntfslabel will set the file system label to be new-label.  NTFS file system labels can
       be at most 128 Unicode characters long; if new-label is longer than 128 Unicode characters, ntfslabel will truncate it and print a  warning
       message.

       It is also possible to set the file system label using the -L option of mkntfs(8) during creation of the file system.

OPTIONS

       Below is a summary of all the options that ntfslabel accepts.  Nearly all options have two equivalent names.  The short name is preceded by
       - and the long name is preceded by --.  Any single letter options, that don't take an argument, can be combined into a single command, e.g.
       -fv is equivalent to -f -v.  Long named options can be abbreviated to any unique prefix of their name.

       -f, --force
	      This will override some sensible defaults, such as not working with a mounted volume.  Use this option with caution.

       -h, --help
	      Show a list of options with a brief description of each one.

       -n, --no-action
	      Don't actually write to disk.

       -q, --quiet
	      Reduce the amount of output to a minimum.

       -v, --verbose
	      Increase the amount of output that ntfslabel prints.

       -V, --version
	      Show the version number, copyright and license for ntfslabel.

NAME

       ntfsfix - fix common errors and force Windows to check NTFS

SYNOPSIS

       ntfsfix [options] device

DESCRIPTION

       ntfsfix	is  a  utility	that fixes some common NTFS problems.  ntfsfix is NOT a Linux version of chkdsk.  It only repairs some fundamental
       NTFS inconsistencies, resets the NTFS journal file and schedules an NTFS consistency check for the first boot into Windows.

       You may run ntfsfix on an NTFS volume if you think it was damaged by Windows or some other way and it cannot be mounted.

OPTIONS

       Below is a summary of all the options that ntfsfix accepts.  Nearly all options have two equivalent names.  The short name is preceded by -
       and  the  long name is preceded by --.  Any single letter options, that don't take an argument, can be combined into a single command, e.g.
       -fv is equivalent to -f -v.  Long named options can be abbreviated to any unique prefix of their name.

       -b, --clear-bad-sectors
	      Clear the list of bad sectors. This is useful after cloning an old disk with bad sectors to a new disk.

       -d, --clear-dirty
	      Clear the volume dirty flag if the volume can be fixed and mounted.  If the option is not present or the volume cannot be fixed, the
	      dirty volume flag is set to request a volume checking at next mount.

       -h, --help
	      Show a list of options with a brief description of each one.

       -n, --no-action
	      Do not write anything, just show what would have been done.

       -V, --version
	      Show the version number, copyright and license
