[Bug 1280574] Re: Files modified on NTFS partition are seen as corrupted files in Windows

[Anton Altaparmakov]

Have you got any 3rd party security related software / antivirus
software installed that might be protecting the volume against
modifications?  If yes what happens if you turn it off?

Have you got any of the change tracking features enabled in Windows?  If
yes what happens if you turn them off?

Perhaps most importantly, would you be happy to create and send us
metadata images of the volume in question?  Probably most useful to have
a "post ntfs-3g write" and "post windows boot after ntfs-3g write".  We
can give you instructions how to gather the metadata images - note those
would expose the names of all your files/directories but none of the
content (except for metadata related files).

Best regards,

Anton

Title:
  Files modified on NTFS partition are seen as corrupted files in
  Windows

Status in “ntfs-3g” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have Ubuntu 13.10 and Windows 8.1 installed, both 64-bit (dual
  boot). Whenever I create or copy files to any of the NTFS partitions
  from Ubuntu, these files get deleted once I login to Windows. When I
  login to Ubuntu again, the files are not there. I shut down Windows
  properly and do not hibernate. I have disabled fast startup option in
  Windows, and Fastboot from BIOS. So it is not a hibernation problem.
  The same problem occurred when using Linux Mint.

  I have been able to find the exact event log concerning this issue in
  Windows Event Viewer, it says: "The file system structure on volume D:
  has now been repaired." and in the details section:

  EventData
    VolumeIdLength 2
    VolumeId D:
    RepairDetail 25008: Start repair on 02/05/2014 at 20:53:12:946 25017: Processing repair verb IndexEntry: 0x5000000000005,        "$I30", "line-mozart.avi" Flags: 0x32, 0x0 26065: Deleting index entry line-mozart.avi in index 0x5000000000005 of file   0x2000000003498. 25009: End repair on 02/05/2014 at 20:53:12:946
    RepairDataLength 152
  ...
  Note: "line-mozart.avi" is the name of the file that got deleted this time.

  Since Windows sees the modified files as corrupted files that need
  repair, I think Ubuntu does something wrong when saving files to NTFS
  partitions, and it is probably a bug in NTFS-3g.
