6 Additional Utilities
Additional utilities for Paragon NTFS&HFS+ for Linux 9.5 provide the ability to check integrity and
create NTFS/HFS+ volumes on block devices from your Linux OS. Additional utilities for Paragon
NTFS&HFS+ for Linux 9.5 were developed with Paragon UFSD SDK.
6.1 ufsd utility
ufsd utility is the single file system utility binary, which is included into the package since Paragon
NTFS&HFS+ for Linux version 9.4.3.
Synopsis
ufsd [utility [arguments]...]
ufsd [--version]
E.g.: ’ufsd chkntfs -f /dev/sdb1’
Utilities
chkntfs - check and fix NTFS volume
chkhfs - check and fix HFS volume
chkufsd - check and fix NTFS/HFS+ volume (universal utility)
mkntfs - format volume into NTFS
mkhfs - format volume into HFS+
Description
ufsd is the multi-call binary that combines Paragon file system formatting and checking utilities into
a single executable.
All utilities are actually hardlinks to the ufsd utility. In order to make sure that the files are not taking
unnecessary space, it is advised to unpack provided archive on the target platform, or create hardlinks
to the ufsd utility manually. You may also use symlinks to achieve the identical functionality or pass
utility name as an argument to the ufsd binary, similar to how busybox binary operates.
6.2 chkufsd utility
chkufsd utility is the combined utility for checking and fixing all file systems, supported by Paragon
NTFS&HFS+ for Linux 9.5.
Synopsis
chkufsd [option] device
E.g.: ’chkufsd -f /dev/sdb1’
