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: EventData VolumeIdLength 2 VolumeId D: RepairDetail 25008: Start repair on 02/05/2014 at 20:53:12:946 25017: Processing repair verb IndexEntry: 0x5000000000005, "$I30", "line-mozart.avi" Flags: 0x32, 0x0 26065: Deleting index entry line-mozart.avi in index 0x5000000000005 of file 0x2000000003498. 25009: End repair on 02/05/2014 at 20:53:12:946 RepairDataLength 152 ... 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.
