[SOLVED]Unable to mount exfat partition

hi guys,
i'm trying to mount exfat partition but i get this error:

udisksd[1092]: FUSE exfat 1.3.0
mar 17 17:38:47 Arch udisksd[1092]: WARN: file system in sectors is larger than device: 3906961408 * 512 > 1649267441664.
mar 17 17:38:47 Arch udisksd[1092]: ERROR: file system in clusters is larger than device: 15261101 * 131072 > 1649267441664.

I'm trying to run exfatfsck but not work.

In windows 10 works fine.

regards

Re: [SOLVED]Unable to mount exfat partition

Did you repartition the disk (and forgot to shrink the filesystem first)?

Re: [SOLVED]Unable to mount exfat partition

I resized the partition and created another partition.  in windows 10 you can see the data

Re: [SOLVED]Unable to mount exfat partition

Because windows apparently boldly ignores that the filesystem is now invalid.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … partitions

A brief google however strongly suggests you actually cannot shrink exfat:
https://superuser.com/questions/393132/ … -partition
https://www.diskpart.com/articles/resiz … -1881.html

If you've not yet written to the shrinked partition, undo the repartitioning, backup all data, partition the disk, create a new FS and restore your data.
If you have written to the repartitioned disk, store all accessible data from windows (there might be errors), then try to restore the old partition and backup data from there (like above) - in this case you'll have to compare the two backups and inspect deviating files on which one is the sane one.

Fortunately, I am able to backup data from Windows10 without errors.
Thanks for advice.
Mark as solved
