You know that the name of command is ‘ntfsfix’. A name of file (or directory).
Which packages in known&enabled repositories provide such file?

dnf provides */ntfsfix

Lets widen the query to all filenames that start with ‘ntfs’

dnf provides */ntfs\*

Too much? We know that it is executable, so probably in one of the sbin or bin directories:

dnf provides *bin/ntfs\*

I think it is the slash in the search-exp that makes dnf look from paths.
Otherwise the seach is from the “Provides” section of RPM metadata.
