[gentoo-user] Corrupt files or ntfs-3g fs?
Hi All, I have a ntfs partition which I mount with ntfs-3g and fuse. Some months ago I had split a video file which thereafter bzipped: -? ? ?? ?? rec1xaa.bz2 -? ? ?? ?? rec2xaa.bz2 -? ? ?? ?? rec3xaa.bz2 -? ? ?? ?? rec4xaa.bz2 -? ? ?? ?? rec5xaa.bz2 -? ? ?? ?? rec6xaa.bz2 -? ? ?? ?? rec7xaa.bz2 -? ? ?? ?? rec8xaa.bz2 -? ? ?? ?? rec9xaa.bz2 -? ? ?? ?? rec00010xaa.bz2 The ??? above show me that something is amiss and the files have been corrupted. I recall deleting them (or trying to) from within MSWindows, but I couldn't do that and, of course, blamed MSWindows for it. Now I am looking at this having booted into Gentoo and I cannot delete them: = /mnt/VideoDrive $ rm rec1xaa.bz2 rm: cannot remove `rec1xaa.bz2': No such file or directory = shred does not work either: = $ shred -v -z -u rec1xaa.bz2 shred: rec1xaa.bz2: failed to open for writing: No such file or directory = This is how it has been mounted: $ mount | grep Video /dev/sda9 on /mnt/VideoDrive type fuseblk (rw,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096) Is there an application I could use to remove them and free the space on the disk, or should I run chkdisk or fsck first? I cannot afford to lose the remaining data on the disk and I do not have another disk as large to back up first. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I think that you have to boot into windows and try to run chkdsk to repair the filesystem. HTH. Xav'

Thanks Xav', It seems that chkdsk fixed it. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

There's nothing you can safely do except leave these dodgy files intact. Is there an application I could use to remove them and free the space on the disk, or should I run chkdisk or fsck first? I think that you have to boot into windows and try to run chkdsk to repair the filesystem. What he said. I believe the risk to the remaining data is low, but I believe it is present. chkdsk has no more warranty than any other software. Stroller.
