3 months ago Now if I try to reformat it to NTFS, this fails too:
saukrs@DESKTOP-O7JE7JE MSYS ~
$ format.com E: /q /fs:ntfs
The type of the file system is RAW.
The new file system is NTFS.
WARNING, ALL DATA ON NON-REMOVABLE DISK
DRIVE E: WILL BE LOST!
Proceed with Format (Y/N)? Y

Format failed.But that might already be an issue of Windows itself, not related to WinBtrfs.
(everything CLI done from the elevated MSYS2 environment in this report)
I have a spare partition formatted to NTFS and mounted as
E:.I can dismount it and then remount it successfully.
- dismounting NTFS volume is OK: ```sh saukrs@DESKTOP-O7JE7JE MSYS ~ $ mountvol E: /P The volume is still in use.

The result I see in File Explorer:
Looks like WinBtrfs doesn't receive / fails to handle some mounting request.
