It is even in F9.
A brief look at the source suggests ntfsck takes a single argument,
the device partition that contains the filesystem to be checked.
Example:
ntfsck /dev/sdb1
What does it actually do? That might require a deeper look at the code.
The program does not appear to exercise much discretion if asked to
examine a partition that is not an NT filesystem. I inadvertently asked
it to look at a FAT partition and it complained:
Boot sector: Bad jump.
Boot sector: Bad NTFS magic.
First attribute must be after the header (0).
then appeared to loop.
