--- Comment #5 from Kamil Páral <kparal(a)redhat.com> ---
I believe CANTFIX resolution is more appropriate, it says that even though we
documented the issue, it still persists and we can't really do much about it.
(Otherwise someone could see just the "closed fixed" status and assume this has
been fixed somehow). Changing resolution and also component back to ntfs-3g.
However, I believe there could be ways to improve the situation. We could
detect whether Win 8 is present on the computer, and if we mount NTFS partition
in such case, we could force chkdsk to be run on the next Windows boot. That
would make sure user data are not lost. The question is whether we can do this
only if fast-restart feature is turned on (whether we can detect that somehow),
otherwise this solution could be a bit annoying.
Another solution is that the installer could try to disable fast-restart
feature if it detects Win 8 (again, if this is possible at all).
These are wild guesses, I'm not the expert here.
