I have two drives, an ssd with windows and ubuntu installed in dual boot, and an hdd with some personal files.
I used to be able to access my hdd from both OSs just fine, but now all of a sudden i can’t mount my it on ubuntu.
I can open the hdd just fine while on windows but on ubuntu i get the following error:
Unable fo access location: Error mounting /dev/sda2 at /media/MyName/MyDrive: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
Real helpful error message i gotta say, “It could be either of these 5 things, or something else, idk”, lol.
Anyway, what can i do about this? I’d like to be able to access my hdd from ubuntu again.
Because Windows. Maybe try using winbtrfs? Its alpha quality but it seems to work for some people. (You will need to format the drive as btrfs)
You could actually install Windows on btrfs with that driver 🤨? Never tried it… but would be willing to try, since I’m sick and tired of Windows store corruption 😒.
I have a feeling it would be very unstable and prone to corruption. However you could try it in a VM just for funzies
Yep, first a test run 👍.
