Troubleshooting

Metadata kept in Windows cache

6

Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).
Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.
Falling back to read-only mount because the NTFS partition is in an
unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation
or fast restarting.)

Use ntfsfix to fix the part

ntfsfix /dev/da0
