Bug Description
Bug reported by Malbo (ubuntu-fr member): http://
HOW TO REPRODUCE:
1) Boot into Windows8, use its "Restart" button
2) From Ubuntu 12.04, try to mount the Windows8 partition:
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb8 /media/
EXPECTED RESULT:
The Windows partition is mounted in write/read mode.
OBSERVED RESULT:
The partition is not mounted. The output of the command is:
Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb8': Opération non permise
The NTFS partition is hibernated. Please resume and shutdown Windows
properly, or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option, or
mount the volume read-write with the 'remove_hiberfile' mount option.
For example type on the command line:
mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sdb8 /media/
Remarks:
- this bug is not present in 11.10
- this bug is severe as it makes Wubi fail on Win8 ( Bug #1042159 )

It sounds like the behavior change since 11.10 is because ntfs-3g itself has started behaving more safely. I think the correct fix for us is to document this in the release notes.
