Cannot access disk partitions after kernel update [SOLVED]

hikmateustad · 2023-09-26 05:50:06

I am running KDE as Desktop Envrionment with KWin as Window Manager.

Recently I updated the arch kernel to Linux 6.5.4-zen2-1-zen and ever since accessing my disk partitions in Dolphin file manager gives the following error

An error occurred while accessing '100.0 GiB Internal Drive (sda9)', the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting /dev/sda9 at /run/media/hikmateustad/BAA85B99A85B52CD: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda9, missing codepage or helper program, or other error

I can only access 2 of my several partitions, the above error is thrown for the remaining partitions.

My disk structure

sudo fdisk -l

Interestingly, since I have a triple boot system with Windows and Pop OS; I can access all disk partitions from both Windows and Pop OS.

I have data I cannot lose on those partitions so formatting them is definitely not an option.

What steps should I take to resolve?

Thanks in advance for your time.

Make sure the disk isn't really marked as dirty

sudo ntfsfix -n /dev/sda9

Thank you so much seth for teaching me a new command.

I ran it against my partitions and ALL IZZ WELL.

This is the sample output from one them

hikmateustad@hikmateustad-dell ~ % sudo ntfsfix -n /dev/sda3
Mounting volume... OK
Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully.
Checking the alternate boot sector... OK
NTFS volume version is 3.1.
NTFS partition /dev/sda3 was processed successfully.

I am having trouble with firefox, no audio. brave and chromium run fine. Unchecked hardware acceleration, no love.

Thanks.

This is all for a different thread.
