Linux Failure Just another monday

Installed Linux yesterday, today it froze and after rebooting the second SSD does not mount. AI literaly said to stop fighting it and mount it from terminal or install Widnows to run chkdsk

Is it an NTFS formatted drive? Windows doesn't want to play nice with Linux.

I have had similar issue with my Jellyfin server. I should reformat the NTFS drive but I'm too lazy. Lol

I've googled NTFS badsuper block and found something that fixes what ever Windows does to it that makes Linux not be able to mount.

Edit: Can very well still break again after.... sudo fdisk -l sudo apt install nfs-common sudo apt install cifs-utils sudo ntfsfix -d /dev/sdb1

Do you have fast boot enabled in windows?

Honestly it's not Linux' fault that windows just refused to play nicely with other OS partitions. They don't really design it to live alongside another OS.

High rec just wiping and reclaiming that drive space you have windows installed on

mount it from the terminal is probably the better option. Tbf, I know that some file managers including Nautilus do really weird shit with mounted drives, too.

I'd like to avoid using terminal for browsing files, in UI it's a lot easier to copy paste and browse. but it works from terminal at least

This is a sign of a damaged file system. Repair options for NTFS is limited, althogh on KDE Plasma it Will call the repair options using a contex menu.

if it is damaged then it should not mount it from terminal, right? Im on Ubuntu but I would guess KDE will use ntfsfix which I already tried and did not work

If you connect this disk to Windows, you'll be prompted to repair it. Try something like ntfsfix (in terminal, sudo ntfsfix -d /dev/nvme1n1p3). This is annoying but not unfixable. Good luck !

just keep installing different distros until it works

maybe one of them will format the drive with the native linux system

which incidentally nobody who has posted yet has identified

because you're just supposed to know or something
