    Unless u have a ntfs shared drive which gets locked by windows if u don't restart...

    One of the main reasons why I let ot boot all the way. If nothing else, it'll mark the partition as dirty πŸ˜’. Sure, I can sudo mount my way into it, but I really have no idea if everything's OK with it. So, I have to reboot, boot into Windows, mark the partition for a consistency check, reboot, boot into Windows again so it could do the check, then reboot again and (finally!) boot into Linux πŸ˜’... I mean, just let it boot all the way the first time, it'll be over rather quickly.

    Really? I think it shows the files as locked, but you can actually do whatever in root πŸ€”.

    In either case, it's just more painless to actually let it boot all the way than to interrupt the boot process.

    Oh yeah, I've had that happen to me (only the one time, like a decade ago), once I realized what gives I solved it easily with GParted 'repair' or something like that (iirc?).

    Edit: ohh, I think it was a (full distro) live-boot CD that I used.
