Ubuntu : Status 14: The disk contains an unclean file system

Dual boot Windows and Ubuntu, but Ubuntu is unable to access the Windows partition /dev/sdb3, shows the following error message :

Error mounting /dev/sdb3 ...
status 14: The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).
Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb3': Operation not permitted
The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown
Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume
read-only with the 'ro' mount option.

Solution

Not sure what is the root cause, may be Windows didn’t shutdown properly. To fix it, use ntfsfix to check and repair the NTFS disk.

$ sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb3
Mounting volume... The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).
