mount -T ntfs fails instead of remounting ro

[Alexander Benner]

sudo mount /media/BOOTCAMP -o error=remount-ro
Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda4': Operation not permitted
The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown
Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume
read-only with the 'ro' mount option.

Only the options described in http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-manual/#6 can be used for mounting an ntfs partition.

Yes, that's exactly the problem. error=remount-ro is an essential option
for automounting via fstab and not honored by ntfs-3g. I do think this has
to be fixed.

Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.
