Recently upgraded to 12.04 and decided to try out Xubuntu. (and by "upgrade", I mean "install the new OS from the live CD, simultaneously wiping out the old one.") I had 3 (major) partitions: Win7, Linux, and a second NTFS partition accessible by both operating systems.
I have read all the FAQs about locate, but the problem i have is diferent and spescific:
I have dual boot Fedora17/Windows. And the Windows NTFS partition in sda1, is mounted as /mnt/windows,
on boot.
On fedora 14, after updatedb, locate saw and found anything in both linux partitions and NTFS partition.
On fedora 17, the NTFS partition is not seen.
When the data loss problem occurred:
My Lenovo laptop has both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04. There are two ntfs partitions shared between the two OSes: one for Windows 7 installation ,and the other for personal data files.
Earlier today, when I was in Windows 7, I restarted the computer into Ubuntu.

I have an Acer Aspire One from the AO725 series, with a 320gb hard drive, preinstalled with Windows 7 home Premium.
I have an NTFS partition which I use to store data and which is shared between Linux and Windows. When I got to the disk partitioning stage of the install, I was unable to set a mount point (or anything else) for the NTFS partition. Not a problem particularly because I was able to manually edit /etc/fstab to automount the NTFS partition once F17 was installed.
I set the home directoy for one of my users to be on an NTFS partiton so that it is accessible from Windows. I'm the only one who uses the computer so I set fuse to allow 777 permissions to that partition.
I had installed Lubuntu on a PC with Windows XP and used dual boot for some time with no problems.
Since I had almost abandoned Windows (kept it for printing...) I decided to resize its ntfs partition and add the free space to my Ubuntu space.
Tried that with a gparted stick and a live cd but would not work due to an issue related to the ntfs partition: gparted signaled with a red exclamation po
My NTFS partition is mounted as follows:
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/dos ntfs permissions,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
I've also tried inserting defaults,uid=1000 in the options (my user ID is 1000). Files do not get sent to the .Trash-1000 folder even though it exists either through Nautilus or rm. What is going on?
