Re:Why are there no true cross-platform filesystems?

Ah, I was thinking of the Debian package for hibernate, that has custom scripts for unmounting selected file systems, from the help text:
And afaik it is perfectly possible to add ntfs mounts to that list - but I don't think any program with open files on that mount would handle it gracefully (I belive the script will figure out which processes (if any) have open files and kill them prior to hibernation).

You can't change Windows code to 'add ntfs mounts to that list'.
Windows 8 will in fact do hibernation when you think you have turned off the computer.
Bottom line: You can't dual boot safely with Windows 8.
