You must hold (pause) that process without deleting the cache. On Windows: # Find processes using the drive handle.exe -a D:\Cache # Or use LockHunter (GUI) Force unmount mountvol D: /p On Linux/macOS: # Find process IDs locking the cache lsof | grep "/mnt/drive/Cache" Soft "hold" - suspend the process (keeps cache intact) kill -STOP <PID> Now unmount safely umount /dev/sdX1 Step 3: Prepare the Partition Table (Without Formatting the Cache Area) This is the critical step: you need to resize or recreate the file system header while leaving the cache data blocks untouched. echo "Step 4: Restoring header and unlocking cache

Step 5: Verify Cache Integrity After Preparation After the "hold" operation, the drive should be ready—new file system, old cache intact. Verify:
