Fix dirty NTFS disk from Linux

The problem

Sometimes when try to mount an NTFS disk in Linux, you get at journalctl the error:

ene 17 10:52:55 hp3nvyl17 kernel: ntfs3: sda1: It is recommened to use chkdsk.
ene 17 10:52:55 hp3nvyl17 kernel: ntfs3: sda1: volume is dirty and "force" flag is not set!

Possible solution: use this command

sudo ntfsfix --clear-dirty /dev/sda1
