Ubuntu 13.04 doesn't auto-mount ntfs filesystems

[Mario]

1. Using Ubuntu 13.04 x64 for Desktops (tested in 2 PCs with same release).

2. Expected behavior when you modify /etc/fstab as follows in order to auto-mount ntfs partitions:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# blah, blah...
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options>
UUID=DA3C779E3C77747B /media/user/Win-Partition ntfs-3g rw,auto,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000,nls=utf8,remove_hiberfile

<dump> <pass>
0 0

Once Ubuntu boots, Nautilus shows Win-Partition automatically (you don't have to select 'Computer' to mount it).

3. Instead, during Ubuntu's boot, the following appears:

'An error occurred while mounting /media/user/Win-Partition
Press S to skip mounting or M for manual.'

I press S and continue, but I can't mount the partition in Nautilus nor Thunar.

*** I did detected though that this happens when you shutdown the PC within Windows 8, NOT WHEN YOU RESTART FROM WIN8 ***

Nevertheless, this didn't happen with Ubuntu 12.10.

Hope you fix this guys. Thanks in advance!

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This bug affects me too. I have altered my fstab for windows 8 / windows 7 and data volume in both laptops ubuntu screen comes only on esc that error is displayed and on skip. The system boots.

Could you try if that's still an issue in newer versions?
