[Bug 506545] Re: possible fs crash in "hibernated" windows

[doorsfan]

Known problem not related to linux.
To repeat:
0. Make backup! Mandatory!
1. Hibernate windows
2. Boot to another windows OS (USB stick, connect HDD to another windows OS)
3. Run defrag system partition hibernated system.
4. Try to wake up system.
You have broken FS. The only way - to restore from backup.

Title:
  possible fs crash in "hibernated" windows

Status in ntfs-3g package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ntfs-3g

  Ubuntu 9.10, dual-boot with Windows 7.
  ntfs-3g 1:2009.4.4-1ubuntu4

  When Windows 7 is in hibernate mode, the partition is mounted in rw from Ubuntu, instead of ro, while 'man ntfs-3g' says:
  "Unlike in case of  read-only  mount,  the  read-write  mount  is
  denied  if  the  NTFS  volume is hibernated. One needs either to
  resume Windows and shutdown it  properly,  or  use  this  option
  which  will  remove  the  Windows hibernation file. Please note,
  this means that the saved Windows  session  will  be  completely
  lost. Use this option for your own responsibility."

  So, after the writing to ntfs in that state and waking-up the Windows
  back, its filesystem became corrupted.

  It seems that ntfs-3g could not determine "hibernate" status in
  Windows 7.
