I was playing a game, alt-tabbing froze my system so I waited a bit and then rebooted by using the button on the case, since I couldn’t do differently.

It now throws an error when mounting a drive: error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/user/local disk 1: unknown error when mounting (udisks-error-quark, 0)

This drive doesn’t have anything I was using on it, since it’s a media storage drive. I booted up Windows on my second drive and it can see and access this one without problems. How to fix?

    Yes, I’ve basically moved permanently over to Linux and do 99.9% of the things on it. Had to boot Windows for the first time in days only to check whether or not my HDD died after I couldn’t mount it

    I’m still in the process of optimizing stuff around Linux (e.g. media drive filesystem) but I’ll get there haha

      You could use btrfs on Linux and install the windows driver. The Windows driver isn’t what I would call stable but it will work if your mostly using Windows.

      Another option is a windows virtual machine instead of dual booting. With a VM you could simple transfer files with magic wormhole or something similar

      What do you mean by that?
