    # Fix dirty NTFS disk from Linux

    ## The problem

    Sometimes when try to mount an NTFS disk in Linux, you get at journalctl the error:

    ```
    ene 17 10:52:55 hp3nvyl17 kernel: ntfs3: sda1: It is recommened to use chkdsk.
    ene 17 10:52:55 hp3nvyl17 kernel: ntfs3: sda1: volume is dirty and "force" flag is not set!
    ```

    ## Possible solution: use this command

    ```
    sudo ntfsfix --clear-dirty /dev/sda1
    ```
