comet424 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) so i having issues... everytime i use windows on my ntfs drive and i shut down properly.. and when i shove into unraid and mount i always get told its unclean.. and when i try to copy to the drive its always read only.. so normally i have to shove backinto a windows machine or a windows VM run check disk to fix it before i can use in unraid i tried this NTFSFIX but it gives me issues and then tells me i cant seem to do it by "BY-ID" only by /DEV/SD01 but since each time you plug in you get a different SDx or whatever i trying to repair by BY ID but its not working root@Tardis:~# ntfsfix /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD6003FFBX-68MU3N0_V9J4LJ1L Mounting volume... NTFS signature is missing. FAILED Attempting to correct errors... NTFS signature is missing. FAILED Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument NTFS signature is missing. Trying the alternate boot sector Unrecoverable error Volume is corrupt. You should run chkdsk. root@Tardis:~# ntfsfix -n /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD6003FFBX-68MU3N0_V9J4LJ1L Mounting volume... NTFS signature is missing. FAILED Attempting to correct errors... NTFS signature is missing. FAILED Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument NTFS signature is missing. Trying the alternate boot sector Unrecoverable error Volume is corrupt. You should run chkdsk. No change made and does unraid have a chkdsk like it says to use? has anyone solved it this kinda issue... i thought i could have done it through the UD forums for scripts but found out it has to be fixed before you can mount.. so maybe someone else has been able to repair it what i wanna do is each time i plug the external hard drives in in a script it will do a windows check disk repair then ill have it mount the drive and copy files to the external hard drive.. since each time i plug into windows and shut down properly unraid tells me i didnt shut down and it puts the hard drive in read only mode is there an unraid plugin that fix's ntfs drives so you can call the plugin to scan the drives Edited July 14, 2023 by comet424 Quote Link to comment

Hold the "shift" key when you click the "Shut Down" text. Otherwise windows doesn't fully close attached volumes or do a bunch of other cleanup work to enhance startup speed. 1 Quote Link to comment

You can permanently revert to the old style of shutting down by disabling fast startup, but typically you only really need to change the behaviour for specific instances, like was mentioned by the OP. 1 Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 @JonathanM ok ill give that a try.... as it is frustrating... i never knew this about volumes here i thought safe remove usb in the bottom right... or just a normal shut down would shut down normally... never knew this.. learn something new everyday... ill give it a shot 🙂 Quote Link to comment

comet424 Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 @JonathanM ah ok ya thats what i thought... but seems i always get the errors when i try to rsync my music back on unraid... its a pain ... and since the letters keep changing on the /dev/sdx its a pain too so i cant do just do it in the script for mounting... i going to try couple ways as i gotta play music tomorrow and sat night... sat morning ill retry the ntfsfix couple ways.... and then sat night after gig ill try running check disk before i shut down then sunday i retest with rsync as its a pain to re mount it in windows and then re hook up to unraid ... but who knows nothings perfect.. and its frustrating i tell ya Quote Link to comment
