Public bug reported:
I recently attempted to dual-boot Ubuntu 16.04 (from a live USB) and
Windows 10. I say "attempted" because Windows 10 did not survive the
process of resizing. The Ubuntu is fine.
The specific chain of events, as far as I have reconstructed:
1. I shut down Windows 10, but accidentally hibernated it instead.
2. I resized the ntfs partition in the installer. It merrily did so.
3. Later, I booted up Windows 10 (from hibernation), but the resize made it,
understandably, insane. I believe at this point Windows 10 corrupted its own
partition.
4. I rebooted Windows 10, and lo, it wouldn't boot, because important files now
no longer existed.
5. Attempting to mount the ntfs partition made mount complain that it was
hibernated, at which point I realized what had happened.
My apologies if this is the wrong package to complain about (ntfsprogs
instead?), but I believe the installer should at least warn about this.
