I'm having a problem booting Ubuntu 16.04 after using windows 10 (I have fast boot enabled). But, as i understand, it should work. This is my disk setup:

  • Windows Partition (OS and programs) <- not mounted in ubuntu
  • Shared Ntfs Partition (Stuff) <- auto-mounted in ubuntu as nfts-3g
  • Ubuntu Partition

As I get, Windows Fast Boot make some sort of "shutdown/hibernate" which leaves the disk in an unsafe state after shutting down. But should this affect my "SHARED PARTITION" too? Because, after I remove the auto mount in the /etc/fstab file, ubuntu boots normally. Once I enter, if i try to mount the disk, this pops up:

Error mounting /dev/sda8 at /media/pablo/7A02A0B456DA5406:
Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o
"uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000" "/dev/sda8"
"/media/pablo/7A02A0B456DA5406"' exited with non-zero exit status 14:
The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0). Metadata kept in
Windows cache, refused to mount. Failed to mount '/dev/sda8':
Operation not permitted The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state.
Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation or fast
restarting), or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option.

Hope you can give me some ideas.

Thanks.

    it does affect shared partition, unfortunately you'll have to turn fast boot off – Sumeet Deshmukh Apr 06 '17 at 14:54
  • after you turn fast boot off, try this out if you're shared ntfs partition still isn't working http://askubuntu.com/a/47711/665251 – Sumeet Deshmukh Apr 06 '17 at 14:56

    Shut off both Fast Startup and Hibernate in Windows. Note that many EFIs have a feature called "fast start" or something similar. This feature is completely unrelated to the Windows Fast Startup feature, and should not cause the type of problem you're describing. It's the Windows Fast Startup feature that can cause filesystem damage in a dual-boot environment. – Rod Smith Apr 06 '17 at 19:09
  • Isn't there a way to make windows Fast-Boot to only leave in thar "hibernated" state the partiton that contains the OS files, and not the data one... ? Thanks for all the answers!!! – SpaceLama Apr 07 '17 at 16:21
