[Bug 1043149] Re: [regression since 12.04] ntfs-3g refuses to mount Windows8 not using hibernation

[bcbc]

My previous post was after "Restarting" the computer from Windows 8 and booting into Wubi. The next test was to "Shut down" from Windows 8 and boot Wubi. That also worked, but I've observed a different behaviour when booting Wubi from Windows 8 manager as compared to Win 7 and that is:
1. Computer starts, BIOS screen
2. Windows boot manager, select Ubuntu(Wubi)
3. Computer restarts, BIOS reappears, boots directly into Ubuntu(Wubi)

So it appears that Windows is taking care of the 'fast-start' hibernated
image from the Windows Boot Manager when required. (Of course when it's
really hibernated it just boots straight into Windows)

It's different when I shut down Windows 8 and then boot the non-Wubi install (12.04.1). Then when I try to mount the windows partition I get:
bcbc at neptune:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Operation not permitted
bcbc at neptune:~$ sudo mount -r /dev/sda1 /mnt
bcbc at neptune:~$ head -c 8 /mnt/hiberfil.sys | od -t x1

Title:
  [regression since 12.04] ntfs-3g refuses to mount Windows8 not using
  hibernation

Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu:
  New
Status in Wubi, Windows Ubuntu Installer:
  Confirmed
Status in “ntfs-3g” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Bug reported by Malbo (ubuntu-fr member): http://forum.ubuntu-
  fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=10558721#p10558721

  HOW TO REPRODUCE:
  1) Boot into Windows8, use its "Restart" button
  2) From Ubuntu 12.04, try to mount the Windows8 partition:
  sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb8 /media/Windows8partition

  EXPECTED RESULT:
  The Windows partition is mounted in write/read mode.

  OBSERVED RESULT:
  The partition is not mounted. The output of the command is:
    Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
    Failed to mount '/dev/sdb8': Opération non permise
    The NTFS partition is hibernated. Please resume and shutdown Windows
    properly, or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option, or
    mount the volume read-write with the 'remove_hiberfile' mount option.
    For example type on the command line:
              mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sdb8 /media/Windows8partition

  Remarks:
  - this bug is not present in 11.10
  - this bug is severe as it makes Wubi fail on Win8 ( Bug #1042159 )
