Public bug reported: By default, Nautilus seems to mount an NTFS partition read-only when a Windows system that has Fast Boot enabled accesses the partition, is shut down and I boot back into Ubuntu. However, when I umount the partition, run ntfsfix on it, and mount it again, Nautilus does not let me move, paste or create folders and files, but surprisingly allows me to delete anything. Such behavior is quite strange.
More formally: Steps to reproduce the bug: - Boot Windows and shut it down with Fast Boot enabled (so the NTFS partitions will be in an unsafe state) - Boot into Ubuntu - Open an NTFS partition with Nautilus (not the one that contains Windows). As expected the partition is mounted read-only and menus don't allow the user to modify anything (items disabled). - Unmount the partition (I used the umount command from a terminal) - Run "sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdXX" - Reopen the NTFS partition What was expected: I should be able to create, move or delete files with Nautilus. What happened: The menu items used to create, move or delete files are enabled but when I actually try to create files or folders, or move any to the NTFS partition, Nautilus complains about the destination being read-only. Deleting files or moving them away from the partition works flawlessly. I can also modify everything with other tools, like a text editor or terminal commands. Restarting Nautilus (i.e. running "nautilus -q" then "nautilus") solves the problem.
