Description of problem:
When using the "fast restart" feature, Windows 8 uses cached metadata
saved at previous shutdown instead of what is actually on disk. This may
occur on any partition of internal disks mounted by Windows (not limited
to the Windows system partition).
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
All versions
How reproducible:
Nearly always.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Work on Windows 8, then shutdown with fast restart enabled.
2. Boot into Linux through grub.
3. Create some new files on an internal partition which was mounted by Windows, and leave Linux
4. Reboot into Windows 8 and check the files created by Linux
Actual results:
The files created by Linux may be missing, and new files created on Windows may overwrite them.
Expected results:
The files created by Linux should be visible.
Additional info:
This apparently only happens when :
a) the fast restart feature of Windows 8 is enabled
b) Windows 8 is closed using the "Shut down" button (it does not happen when using the "Restart" button)
c) the dual booting into Linux is done though grub (it does not happen when booting into Linux through the Windows multiboot feature).
Starting chkdsk when entering Windows 8 drops the cached metadata and
restores the state left by Linux.
The only known work around is to disable the fast restart feature (see
http://jp-andre.pagesperso-orange.fr/advanced-ntfs-3g.html#windows8 )

Jean-Pierre, since the only known workaround is to disable the fast
restart feature from within Windows 8, what do you want me to do here?
We can document this in our release notes, but if you can't fix it... :)

Well, Tom, this was intended to have to issue documented in a place
where users might look at, rather than asking you to do some special
thing. I will take care of having it documented in the manual.

I believe CANTFIX resolution is more appropriate, it says that even
though we documented the issue, it still persists and we can't really do
much about it. (Otherwise someone could see just the "closed fixed"
status and assume this has been fixed somehow). Changing resolution and
also component back to ntfs-3g.
However, I believe there could be ways to improve the situation. We
could detect whether Win 8 is present on the computer, and if we mount
NTFS partition in such case, we could force chkdsk to be run on the next
Windows boot. That would make sure user data are not lost. The question
is whether we can do this only if fast-restart feature is turned on
(whether we can detect that somehow), otherwise this solution could be a
bit annoying.
Another solution is that the installer could try to disable fast-restart
feature if it detects Win 8 (again, if this is possible at all).
These are wild guesses, I'm not the expert here.

CANTFIX if probably appropriate to mean that mounting a file system not
sync'ed by Windows cannot be prevented from being dangerous (hibernation
and fast restart on Windows 8 imply not sync'ed to disk).
Now, I think it is possible to detect the dangerous situations and
refuse to mount with *future* ntfs-3g versions. This might still be
unpleasant to users. You may apply the following couple of patches for
that :
first : http://ntfs-3g.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=ntfs-3g
/ntfs-3g;a=commit;h=4d0b9163c9ef1f0cdbbf533317b291220c7fd1c7
then : http://ntfs-3g.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=ntfs-3g/ntfs-
3g;a=commit;h=559270a8f67c77a7ce51246c23d2b2837bcff0c9
I have tested these patches, and they are scheduled for next ntfs-3g
release.

Jean-Pierre, that is great news. Refusing to mount is another great
option how to make sure user data is safe. Ideally the high-level
applications (Nautilus etc) could even display some reasonable error
message.
Reopening this bug to track the progress.
