I want 3 partitions on the SSD of my Thinkpad (additional to the small standard partitions for windows recovery and so on):
1.) Windows 10 (This partition is called "C" in Windows)
2.) NTFS data partition used by both OS
3.) Ubuntu 18.04
I read a lot about people not being able to mount other partitions with Ubuntu because they get warning messages, telling them that Windows is in hibernation (Unable to mount Windows 10 partition; it "is in an unsafe state", Unable to mount Windows (NTFS) filesystem due to hibernation, unable to mount ntfs partition created inside widows 10).
I am fine with getting warning messages and I found how to shut down Windows with deactivated fast start-up(see https://askubuntu.com/a/655995/865596, https://askubuntu.com/a/843161/865596) or to restart instead of a shutdown to avoid hibernation-like behavior (see https://askubuntu.com/a/843373/865596).
But I am very afraid of corrupted data or even bricking my system.
So can I rely on getting warning messages when the other OS is hibernating? Or is it possible that when I boot Ubuntu while windows is still in hibernation that I can destroy something without getting warned before doing so? And how dangerous is it to boot Windows 10 while Ubuntu 18.04 is hibernating?
Related question: When people are writing about not being able to mount their "windows partition" do they actually mean the partition 1.) Windows 10 partition (I cannot think of any situation where I would like to mount this partition in write mode. By the way: is it possible to forbid Ubuntu to ever mount this partition with writing rights?) or do they mean the 2.) NTFS data partition?
Summarizing my question: Is it safe to use the following configuration:
1.) Windows 10
-with hibernation
-without fast startup (or with fast-start-up and always trying to restart windows before booting Ubuntu like described in https://askubuntu.com/a/843373/865596)
2.) NTFS data partition used by both OS
3.) Ubuntu 18.04
-without hibernation (or would it even be safe to use hibernation in Ubuntu too?)
-Is there any Fast start up option in Ubuntu 18.04 that should be deactivated for a dual boot configuration?
