hi,

I can report the same behaviour with two ntfs partitions not being
mounted due to serious errors. Ignoring the errors seems to give me two
perfectly working partitions, though, and they still work in windows.

However, I made some differing observations:

- when checking partition A (data storage) with the windows built in
disk checker gui, there were errors which were corrected; unfortunately
I don't remember the error message anymore; a chkdsk /F didn't find
anything afterwards

- when mounting partition B manually from the console I got an error
message followed by a "fixing"; another mount succeeded without errors

- the fixes don't seem to have any effect on the reported behaviour; I
still get the "serious errors"

- booting windows7 after the upgrade to oneiric takes me to a windows7
boot menu where I can choose between ubuntu and windows, which is new,
but I'm not sure if its related

Has anybody tried installing oneiric from scratch (while keeping /home)
and can report whether there are issues with ntfs partitions in that
case?

Title:
  ntfs partition is not mounted at boot time due to a supposedly "grave
  error"

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello,

  After upgrading to Oneiric, I receive an error at *every* boot (since
  the very first one just after the upgrade) telling that my /windows
  partition have errors that cannot be fixed. I'm prompted to either
  ignore, skip mounting or manually check the error.

  If I choose to ignore, the windows partition is mounted just fine. If
  I "skip" and mount it manually (with a "mount -v /windows") I get
  neither an error nor warnings.

  I already double-checked that the Windows partition has no errors with
  chkdsk on Windows.
