NTFS signature is missing. Volume is corrupt

  • 772

I have a remote VPS with Ubuntu 20.04 which worked well yesterday. Today I found out the whole disc is read only. I can not write anymore nor as sudo nor the root. After the search I found command which should fix it https://askubuntu.com/a/1273263/568046

sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda2

This command throws me an error:

Mounting volume... NTFS signature is missing.
FAILED
Attempting to correct errors... NTFS signature is missing.
FAILED
Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument
NTFS signature is missing.
Trying the alternate boot sector
Unrecoverable error
Volume is corrupt. You should run chkdsk.

Command chkdsk does not exist. After this command all programs are dead. I can run commands like systemctl status apache2 but can not start it any more. Does somebody know what it means? Thanks for any help.

mount
