I have a dual boot system with an NTFS partition (C:)
dedicated to the windows 8 OS files
, an EXT4 partition
dedicated to Linux Mint 17
.
There is also another NTFS partition (E:)
which I would like to use for some files shared between the two OS's.
The problem is that whenever I hibernate Windows 8 it sets the hibernation flag
on both C:
and E:
making it impossible to write into the shared partition from Linux.
Is there any way to force Linux Mint to mount the partiton as R/W or to prevent windows 8 from setting this flag on the shared partition? I know that an obvious solution would be to just normally shutdown windows 8 (with fast boot disabled) but I really need to have it hibernated.

ntfs-3g has an option that will force delete the hibernation file and force a rw mount:
