I have recently started using Fedora on my laptop. I've set it up so that it sits on a roughly 20GB encrypted partition and most of the Home folders (Downloads, Documents, Pictures) are symlinked to there Windows equivalents. It has worked well usually, at least until I start saving files in those folders
While I'm in Fedora I can save all my files to the Windows partition and view them just fine. However when I boot into Windows 7, half the time the files don't even show up. Running chkdsk shows lots of errors and proceeds to delete most of the files I created in Linux
If useful this is the full chkdsk log from the last run where I lost a lot of downloads among other files (its very verbose since I grabbed it from the Event Log)
Checking file system on C:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Volume label is Windows_7.
One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You
may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended
that you continue.
Windows will now check the disk.

Please wait while your computer restarts.
This has been happening off and on since Fedora 15, which ranges from annoying ("Oh, lost some random meme gifs I downloaded") to angering ("Oh look, my programming assignment was deleted"). Its to the point where I'm about to mount the partition as read-only, which means I'll probably not use Linux at all.
EDIT: Mount options
/dev/sda2 /media/win7/ ntfs rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=007 0 0
Has anyone else ever experienced this problem? Are there known remedies? Is NTFS on Windows 7 even supported?
