IMHO the OP first has to explain a lot before we start to advice him all sorts of panic repairs and help him further down the drain.
The question is even how he could have run this system at all.
On my WSL1, all $USERs are located within NTFS except for .ssh for encryption. In general OpenSUSE handle NTFS with permission set to chmod 777. It’s funky but it does work on some of my systems, it’s certainly not what I would ever do.
I would never advise that. It denies all talking about Linux being much safer then windows.
One should use non-Linux file systems only for direct file exchange between a Linux system and a non-Liniu system. And see that it is mounted as short in time as feasable.
YMMV.
I totally agree. I would never mount NTFS as /home on any of my linux installations, but within Windows 10, WSL1 has been installed and /home calls a symbolic link to a location easily accessible by the Windows 10.
Similary I mount some NTFS data drives and I was going to suggest the OP a way to get his system to work, but not in any way that I would recommend or do myself. Just enough so that he can salvage what data he has left.
Is this the situation on the OP’s system?
In that case I quit from this thread. My Windows knowledge is almost nil, thus no advice at all from me.
@SJLPHI @hcvv After reading the discussion here I sorted out what the problem was. The culprit wasn’t the hard-reboot, it was indeed my fault. I was messing around with the YaST Partition and accidentally mounted the Hard disk as the /home directory. That might have been the same reason why my system wasn’t able to shut down and I had to force-reboot. However, after I unmounted the Hardrock as the home directory, my system now boots fine again. Thanks for all the help!

No problem, I’m glad you sorted out the problem. For future reference, I typically mount my NTFS HDDs in /mnt with “default” option. Typically this allows me to send/receive data back and forth from Windows/Linux.
