exfat_ucstoutf8: iconv failed Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
Can't create file...etc...
I've been using my Seagate Expansion 5TB USB on my Ubuntu desktop for 1 year without fail on Ubuntu 14.04 desktop.
I plugged it into a Windows 10 machine because I wanted a cloned image of it. No drive letter so I ran Disk Management. This showed two "RAW" unallocated partitions, slightly different sizes but close enough to 2.5TB each. I made NO changes. I looked for an option to assign a drive letter but I didn't find so I made no changes.
I plugged it back into my Ubuntu machine and it could not mount. Testdisk immediately found my single exfat partition and showed what appeared to be all my files (I didn't try to traverse directories).
I started copying the very most important directory. The past ~ 2 hours it's been stuck it's been stuck like this:
Code: Select all
P exFAT 0 0 1 608001 80 62 9767541167
Directory /
Copying, please wait... 6011 ok, 131 failed
Naturally I can't change any filenames since I can't mount.
I don't care at all about the particular directory it seems to have had trouble with.
I don't want to try to stop and restart because I can't determine what sort of recursion it's been doing.
How can I make progress?
