Package: ntfs-3g Version: 1:2017.3.23AR.3-2 Severity: normal Dear all,
I was reading the manpage of ntfsinfo and found it pretty spartan . While there is a wealth of information generated by ntfsinfo I am unable to make sense of it - The HDD is an external USB Seagate BUP Slim BK 2 TB HDD (uses USB for power, no external power) $ sudo ntfsinfo -v -fm /dev/sdb1 Volume Information Name of device: /dev/sdb1 Device state: 11 Volume Name: Volume State: 91 Volume Flags: 0x8000 MODIFIED_BY_CHKDSK Volume Version: 3.1 Sector Size: 512 Cluster Size: 4096 Index Block Size: 4096 Volume Size in Clusters: 488378111 MFT Information MFT Record Size: 1024 MFT Zone Multiplier: 0 MFT Data Position: 24 MFT Zone Start: 786432 MFT Zone End: 61833695 MFT Zone Position: 786432 Current Position in First Data Zone: 61833695 Current Position in Second Data Zone: 0 Allocated clusters 776 (0.0%) LCN of Data Attribute for FILE_MFT: 786432 FILE_MFTMirr Size: 4 LCN of Data Attribute for File_MFTMirr: 2 Size of Attribute Definition Table: 2560 Number of Attached Extent Inodes: 0 FILE_Bitmap Information FILE_Bitmap MFT Record Number: 6 State of FILE_Bitmap Inode: 80 Length of Attribute List: 0 Number of Attached Extent Inodes: 0 FILE_Bitmap Data Attribute Information Decompressed Runlist: not done yet Base Inode: 6 Attribute Types: not done yet Attribute Name Length: 0 Attribute State: 3 Attribute Allocated Size: 61050880 Attribute Data Size: 61047264 Attribute Initialized Size: 61047264 Attribute Compressed Size: 0 Compression Block Size: 0 Compression Block Size Bits: 0 Compression Block Clusters: 0 Free Clusters: 457980821 (93.8%) Now I have been trying to figure out what each of the statements mean but have come up naught. For instance what does Device state: 11 mean or what does Volume State: 91 mean ? It is and was a pre-formatted hdd AFAIK/remember. inxi shares the following info. - info: Seagate RSS LLC type: Mass Storage driver: uas interfaces: 1 rev: 2.1 speed: 480 Mb/s chip ID: 0bc2:ab24 The last one is probably the hdd controller details if that gives any more info. It doesn't give any info. on the state of the hdd :( or if it does I am not able to make sense of it. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_IN:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages ntfs-3g depends on: ii fuse 2.9.8-2 ii libc6 2.28-2 ii libgcrypt20 1.8.4-4 ii libgnutls30 3.6.5-2 ii libgpg-error0 1.33-3 ii libntfs-3g883 1:2017.3.23AR.3-2 ntfs-3g recommends no packages. ntfs-3g suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8
