I am trying to mount my Windows partition at boot. It works fine when Windows is in shutdown, but when Windows is hibernated, it can't be mounted as read/write, and I am sent to the root shell at boot. I tried to solve this by adding errors=remount-ro
to my fstab, to mount it read-only if it can't be mounted as read/write when it is hibernated, but it doesn't work, and I still get an error at boot.
Is there a way to work around this and boot the partition as read/write when possible, but as read-only when it is hibernated?

I ended up removing the line from
/etc/fstab
. I now mount the Windows partition in~/.xinitrc
, by using the return code frommount
:To be warned/informed about the way the partition is mounted, I also added the following to my Conky configuration:
