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

[Karim Sonbol]

OK, so after some research I found the following:
I have SSD caching enabled in Windows, but through a program called ExpressCache not Intel RST. It comes bundled with Sandisk SSDs.

http://www.sandisk.com/products/software/express-cache/
 
It seems that ExpressCache does not require the SATA configuration mode be set to RAID.

I've attached a screenshot of the cache info for ExpressCache on my machine.
 
I also installed Intel RST software and there was no option to "accelerate", probably because there is no RAID mode. Strangely enough, Intel RST driver is also included in the drivers page for my laptop.

Anyway, I think what I can try now is uninstall ExpressCache or stop SSD
caching somehow and see if this fixes the problem and maybe reinstall it
afterwards. However, I don't know if this could break the system in any
way. And if I disabled SSD caching, will I be able to use the SSD as
storage device ?

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.
