While transferring 200k files to my USB HDD, it stopped and when remounting the disk, I got:
Error mounting /dev/sdj1 at /run/media/karlo/WD: Command-line `mount -t “ntfs” -o “uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177” “/dev/sdj1” “/run/media/karlo/WD”‘ exited with non-zero exit status 13: $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0).
Failed to mount ‘/dev/sdj1’: Input/output error
NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it’s a
SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows
then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very
important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate
it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.
/dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the ‘dmraid’ documentation
for more details.
Fix is:
$ sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdj1 Mounting volume... $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0). FAILED Attempting to correct errors... Processing $MFT and $MFTMirr... Reading $MFT... OK Reading $MFTMirr...

ntfsfix is a part of ntfsprogs.
