Public bug reported:

I have Ubuntu 13.10 and Windows 8.1 installed, both 64-bit (dual boot).
Whenever I create or copy files to any of the NTFS partitions from
Ubuntu, these files get deleted once I login to Windows. When I login to
Ubuntu again, the files are not there. I shut down Windows properly and
do not hibernate. I have disabled fast startup option in Windows, and
Fastboot from BIOS. So it is not a hibernation problem. The same problem
occurred when using Linux Mint.

I have been able to find the exact event log concerning this issue in
Windows Event Viewer, it says: "The file system structure on volume D:
has now been repaired." and in the details section:

...
Note: "line-mozart.avi" is the name of the file that got deleted this time.

Since Windows sees the modified files as corrupted files that need
repair, I think Ubuntu does something wrong when saving files to NTFS
partitions, and it is probably a bug in NTFS-3g.
