mkdir -p /mnt/Microsoft/

sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/Microsoft/

sudo mount -o rw /dev/sda2 /mnt/Microsoft/

root@vmi764850:/mnt/Microsoft# sudo mount -o rw /dev/sda2 /mnt/Microsoft/

The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).

Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.

Falling back to read-only mount because the NTFS partition is in an

unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation

or fast restarting.)

after that I rsync the required file to another linux server

managed server
