    Windows always runs chkdsk and fails. & can't defragment the drive


    I recently moved some files from a Linux system off a btrfs partition to my 1 TB ntfs drive, and I've been encountering issues trying to do anything with the drive on Windows.The drive works just fine, but Windows forces chkdsk to run on every single boot, and I can't defragment the drive "Optimization not available" probably due to Windows detecting errors.Any time chkdsk runs, it completes, however running fsutil dirty query or chkntfs right after always results in "Volume is dirty". chkdsk doesn't seem to work correctlySo far I've tried:Manually unmarking the dirty bit from Linux Windows
