[Bug 1318519] Re: fsck on a ntfs device gives error msg: fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found

[Phillip Susi]

There is no true fsck for ntfs.  The only way to properly fsck an ntfs
volume is with the chkdsk utility on Windows.

Title:
  fsck on a ntfs device gives error msg: fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  
  Hello,

  I am trying to fsck an image of a ntfs partition using fsck on the
  command line.

  My understanding is that fsck should call fsck.ntfs, but there is no
  fsck.ntfs on my system, just ntfsck from the ntfs-3g package:

  $ dpkg -S $( which ntfsck )
  ntfs-3g: /bin/ntfsck

  The error msg that I am getting is this one:

  $ fsck -t ntfs /media/user/MELONE/work_copy_dev_sda2.image
  fsck von util-linux 2.20.1
  fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found
  fsck: error 2 while executing fsck.ntfs for/media/user/MELONE/work_copy_dev_sda2.image

  There is no installation candidate for ntfsprogs, apt-cache search
  ntfsprogs returns no results.

  This is a xubuntu 14.04 64 bit system.

  BR
