[Cialug] NTFS in hiberhated state

[kristau]

I'm pretty sure the --clear-dirty option is the one you're looking
for. NTFS writes a "dirty" flag to the filesystem when the OS starts
up and clears it when it shuts down correctly. In a state of
hibernation, that flag would be present, thus the need to clear it.
Other than that, the only special thing about a hibernation state is
that a copy of the contents of system RAM and CPU state will exist
somewhere on the drive.
