Unless u have a ntfs shared drive which gets locked by windows if u don't restart...

One of the main reasons why I let ot boot all the way. If nothing else, it'll mark the partition as dirty ๐Ÿ˜’. Sure, I can sudo mount my way into it, but I really have no idea if everything's OK with it. So, I have to reboot, boot into Windows, mark the partition for a consistency check, reboot, boot into Windows again so it could do the check, then reboot again and (finally!) boot into Linux ๐Ÿ˜’... I mean, just let it boot all the way the first time, it'll be over rather quickly.
