Since today I cannot mount my Toshiba external hard drive. Not from the terminal either. It worked fine yesterday. Yesterday I tried to find a solution to grant both firefox and darktable (both snap) access. I thought I solved the problem and yesterday it worked fine.
lsblk -f

I fear I broke something. Hope anyone can help me! If you need any additional info let me know! Sorry for the mess, I tried to fix the presentation of the terminal output, but didn't manage :/
sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 mountdir
$MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 3).
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': 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.

I used thismethod to fix the snap permission problem yesterday, btw.
I now tried to connect my camera directly to the laptop to transfer files, and it won't recognize it at all. I also have a second external drive that mounts w/o problems.
