If any checksum fails, the 130 hold was not honored – immediately remount read-only and restore from backup.
By meticulously flushing volatile data, documenting exact volume signatures, and maintaining strict file path continuity, you can successfully manipulate exFAT and NTFS drive architectures without sacrificing critical cache data.
| Symptom | Fix | |---------|------| | Error 130 during mount | Check for dirty bit: fsck.exfat -y or chkdsk /f | | Cache disappears after prep | You used mkfs without --preserve or the conv=notrunc flag. Restore from backup. | | Drive shows 130 MB less capacity | Shrink operation left unallocated space. Expand with parted or diskpart . | | "Hold" doesn't work on Windows | Use Sysinternals PsSuspend to suspend the process locking the cache folder. |

: Mount with -o ro and check that existing files (cache) are still visible.
Only for NTFS HDDs; never for SSDs.
Close all applications utilizing the target exFAT or NTFS volumes. Open your command terminal as an administrator.
, the tool scans the external drive and creates a cache file (a list of raw sectors) on the internal HDD.
If you need to switch file systems but keep cache:
Use drives with PLP (Power Loss Protection) to keep the cache physically safe. Best Practices for Maintenance Monitor TBW: Keep an eye on Total Bytes Written.
