Comment 4 for bug 539064

I think this is the expected behavior of journalling file systems. When you unmount a writable file system, the file system needs to write out a marker saying that it was shut down "cleanly" and doesn't need a journal recovery on the next mount.

Perhaps a file system could detect that it's been idle for some period and mark itself clean automatically. For the feasibility of this, you should contact NTFS-3G developers instead.

Maybe assign to ntfs-3g?
