Aug 19 at 7:37 comment added tink @birdman - looks like that option is being deprecated - it's possible that debian 13 has gotten rid of it.
Aug 19 at 7:33 comment added birdman Now I formatted the partition to ext4 and wanted to add the option nobootwait, but if added the mount does not work and the following error is displayed: "fsconfig() failed: ext4: Unknown parameter 'nobootwait'"

Aug 18 at 13:31 comment added oldfred If you have data you have not backed up, you may be able to manually mount read only. sudo mkdir /mnt/win & sudo mount -o ro /dev/sdc1 /mnt/win Make sure still sdc1 first. When I plug in a flash drive as sdc, then reboot, flash drive is sda & every other drive one letter higher.
Aug 18 at 9:17 comment added birdman I will format to ext4 instead of xfs, because I have mainly small files.
Aug 17 at 22:34 comment added tink On some distros there's also the ntfsfix command available. @birdman (if you need to mount it to backup/rescue data off it before the reformat).
Aug 17 at 22:18 comment added tink If you have no windows using a linux-native filesystem like ext4, xfs or such is definitely the more sane approach. @birdman
Aug 17 at 22:07 comment added birdman I do not have Windows anymore. The options nofail and nobootwait are interesting in order not to hang the boot if it cannot be mounted. Who makes the flagged dirty? Usually, the OS boots and mounts correctly, and rarely, the mount error is prompted. What about reformatting the partition to ext4?
