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

[bcbc]

Okay, I hadn't noticed (or heard about) the bit about 'hybrid sleep'.

I switched it on, used the sleep, and then woke up from the sweep.

Then I hit "Restart" and tried to boot into Wubi, but it didn't work. I can't mount the windows partition except in read-only mode.
bcbc at neptune:~$ head -c 30 '/mnt/$LogFile' | tail -c 4 | od -t x1
0000000 01 00 01 00
0000004


After that I performed a "Shutdown" from Windows, Wubi boots fine, including on subsequent "Restarts" from Windows.
bcbc at neptune:~$ head -c 30 '/host/$LogFile' | tail -c 4 | od -t x1
0000000 01 00 01 00
0000004

After going in to Win8 and doing another "Sleep", followed by another "Restart", then Wubi won't boot again. So it seems easily reproducible. 
PS in case it matters, this is what hiberfil.sys looks like:
bcbc at neptune:~$ head -c 8 /mnt/hiberfil.sys | od -t x1
0000000 48 49 42 52 09 00 00 00
0000010

I'll guess I'll be turning off 'hybrid sleep' now.

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 )
