For a Windows 8 shutdown and booting (non-wubi) Ubuntu, I get:
bcbc@neptune:~$ head -c 30 '/mnt/$LogFile' | tail -c 4 | od -t x1
0000000 00 00 02 00
0000004
But it won't mount it, except read-only so, in that sense, it's safe.
But it would be a pain for a user trying to boot from an Ubuntu USB and
trying to partition and install, or someone using Grub.
bcbc@neptune:~$ sudo umount /mnt
bcbc@neptune:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Operation not permitted
The NTFS partition is hibernated. Please resume and shutdown Windows
properly, or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option, or
mount the volume read-write with the 'remove_hiberfile' mount option.
For example type on the command line:
mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda1 /mnt
