Today, I encountered an issue where my external 5TB Seagate USB hard drive would no longer mount and displayed the following error:
An error occurred while accessing ‘Seagate Portable Drive’, the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting /dev/sdb2 at /run/media/deck/Seagate Portable Drive: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
To fix this, open Konsole and type the following command. You will be prompted for your root password (follow this guide if you haven’t set a root password):
sudo ntfsfix -d /dev/sdb2
Your drive might be /dev/sda2 – in that case use the following command:
sudo ntfsfix -d /dev/sda2
Hope that helps. If you need any help, feel free to leave a comment below.
