Reinstall then restore. Here the installation is on the metal of course just win10 running isolated & air gapped

Today I learned the following. Journaling and journaling are two separate distinctly separate manners of keeping file systems in Sync.

When microsoft talks about journaling in NTFS you should never, ever think about the robust journaling system that Ext4 has

In comparison EXT4 journaling is a god while en NTFS journaling is not even an ant

I have EXT4 file systems connected to an extremely unstable machine. This thing crashes to green screens more than 64 times a day.

{It's a Gigabyte Mini PC in case you're interested never buy those. The machine came with overheating errors from the beginning. The factory installed a fan for the APU which is not even suitable for a GPU that was made a decade ago}

I've not even lost one bit of data on those EXT4 file systems.

Those NTFS file systems with journaling? I lost all of them. All NTFS file systems were lost

I didn't lose data because I have backups the file systems just keeled over simply because the machine kept rebooting

Thank you for being so robust EXT4
