I understand that hibernation prevents (by default) the user from mounting their disk in read-write mode on Ubuntu. Attempting to use read-write forces erasure of hiberfil.sys.

How do I keep hiberfil.sys (and still mount read-write)?

Note: I am aware of the data risks, but there must be a way to do this! It seems that the driver must mount and then erase hiberfil.sys.

    See http://askubuntu.com/questions/145902/unable-to-mount-windows-ntfs-filesystem-due-to-hibernation for the "why". There seems to be no possible "how" though. – Byte Commander Jan 15 '17 at 11:29

    Otherwise read http://askubuntu.com/questions/204166/how-do-i-mount-a-hibernated-ntfs-partition Basically: not possible due to restraint on the driver. and it would lead to data loss if you could (and possibly an unbootable/unusable windows machine). We do not need that kind of problems. – Rinzwind Jan 15 '17 at 11:47
