Hi @Sk7Str1pe. I wouldn't be able to help unless you provide a log where you see that line.

Currently, partition passthrough on Windows is not implemented due to its weird, non-UNIX way of handling disks. The error you see is an internal Linsk mechanism trying to prevent data corruption that may be a consequence of double-mounting the disk.

Unfortunately, I currently don't have resources to implement this feature; however, PRs are always welcome.

  1. Tho you could add bypass option for those cases. Will try to implement this
  2. I managed do those with VMWare Workstation, basically it passthrough entire disk but replacing not mentioned partittions with raw partitions. This could be an option, will mention you then have any results, or mention me if you did anything
