    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.

          I could kiss you. I won’t. But I could. I might have to make a auto script to run this every time like I do with my wifi on suspend. But that did fix it. Thank you for taking the time to help me.

          The -d got me where I needed.

          I’ll pass along your kindness when my time comes.
