I'm closing this as "not a bug" (marking as rejected) as there is no
effective way to prevent potential data loss when hibernating then
booting into some other OS. Please refer to bug #80997 for more
information and rationale.
It doesn't matter if the partitions in question are FAT or ext, whether
the OS is Linux, Windows, or BSD: If you hibernate the machine then boot
another OS, all partitions are fair game (there are ext drivers for
Windows) and any files open on any of those partitions by any process,
including the kernel or user space apps, are subject to possible
corruption and data loss.
If you think there are effective of managing this, please consider
writing a spec - any changes required to address this will touch a lot
of code, and tracking this requires something more than a simple bug
report.
Thanks!
