Q: FSTAB solution for NTFS write stopped working?

Hi,

I made NTFS write support by adding the following line in FSTAB file.

LABEL=BootCamp none ntfs rw,auto,nobrowse

It was working fine until it stopped showing under volumes. Now, when I try to mount BootCamp volume from disk utility, it shows for <1s and its gone.

I searched the web for solution and then I entered following command in terminal.

sudo dmesg

It returned following:

NTFS driver 3.13 [Flags: R/W].

NTFS volume name BootCamp, version 3.1.

NTFS-fs error (device /dev/disk0s4, pid 146): ntfs_system_inodes_get(): Windows is hibernated.  Run chkdsk.

NTFS-fs error (device /dev/disk0s4, pid 146): ntfs_mount(): Failed to load system files (error 30).

NTFS-fs error (device /dev/disk0s4, pid 146): ntfs_mount(): Mount failed (error 30).

NTFS volume name BootCamp, version 3.1.

NTFS-fs warning (device /dev/disk0s4, pid 220): ntfs_system_inodes_get(): Windows is hibernated.  Will not be able to remount read-write.  Run chkdsk.

I tried running chkdsk, but it successfully repairs the drive but still i can't mount the drive with write support in OSX.

Now talking about hibernation, I have already turned off hibernation option from windows, so I have only restart or shutdown options.

I am not into using third party software(Tuxera, ntfs3g or others).

Is there any work around for this so that I can use FSTAB only? Please help!

Thanks.
