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 😒. 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 😒… I mean, just let it boot all the way the first time, it’ll be over rather quickly.
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.

Really? I think it shows the files as locked, but you can actually do whatever in root 🤔.
In either case, it’s just more painless to actually let it boot all the way than to interrupt the boot process.

lol 🤣. Good info though 👍, I will have it in mind.
