#chkdsk — Public Fediverse posts

I don’t want to leave this system and boot into #Windows. Not even for a second. #Arch + #Gnome are so stress-free, and everything just works.
#chkdsk

The #microSD card in my phone has gotten corrupted.

My (dusty) Windows7 laptop says the disk format is exFat and that the disk is now good.
Pretty sure the Android phone wants Fat32, so how did it ever work in the phone?
Used #FreeFileSync to backup the card's files to a laptop. But some files not transferable.
Used #chkdsk but AOK there.

Hours taken by this #TrashyTech so far?
Three? Five? Getting other things done but ....

So now trying #DiskDrill.

Yup corrupt AF. And for extra irony 5 directories reported are all for *technology* podcasts. And our old #CHKDSK friend the "100 percent completed"
...except after an hour it isn't. The 'progress' dots are gradually going more to the right but I guess at this pace it's going to be an all-nighter. Still looks like it will be helpful, have used this technique in the past with good results

Does anyone here understand this?

I was copying my #ArchLinux Home drive to an NTFS USB hard drive via Beyond Compare. When it got down to .cache/Thumbnails, it began counting up millions of files and more GB than would fit on the drive. I killed the copy. In Linux I was able to delete most of the files it had already copied, but a few triggered the impossible counts. Curious, I connected the drive to an old Win 10 machine which saw a similar mess. I ran #chkdsk /r for ~4 hours, and the corrupted files were gone. But some of the found.000/dir0000.chk files it made were as corrupt as the originals, I can't delete them. I can copy them to a different drive, but that copies all the items that seemed to be deleted from the previous drive. I can seem to delete most of them again...

This is now happening on Linux native drives, so I doubt my USB drive or Linux vs. NTFS is the problem. Is there some way to see what is happening and delete the corrupt chkdsk files?
