Prepare Exfat Ntfs Drives 130 | Hold To Keep Existing Cache

blkid | grep HOLD130 | cut -d'"' -f2 > uuids.txt

In all cases, “prepare exfat ntfs drives 130 hold to keep existing cache” transforms a 3-day disaster into a 30-minute maintenance window.

| File System | Command (Windows Admin) | Action | |-------------|------------------------|--------| | NTFS | chkdsk X: /f | Fixes metadata errors without touching user data | | exFAT | chkdsk X: /f | Similar repair, but exFAT has no journal – safe as long as no power loss |
