Oooo I’ll try that when I get out of this parking lot. And yea /dev/sda1. Also yes NTFS, 2tb with too much shit to swap around to use a different format.
I could kiss you. I won’t. But I could.
I might have to make a auto script to run this every time like I do with my wifi on suspend. But that did fix it. Thank you for taking the time to help me.
Sounds like NTFS journaling errors.
Assuming the external disk is /dev/sdb
sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1
It also offers a specific option to clear the “dirty” flag on the partition:
sudo ntfsfix -d /dev/sdb1

Good luck!

The -d got me where I needed.
I’ll pass along your kindness when my time comes.
Happy it helped. This to me is the beauty of open source.
