    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

      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.
