Adding acl to ntfs-3g's mount options may fix the issue of failing to shutdown/reboot

[shunf4]

I am experimenting installing Linux to a subdirectory of an NTFS partition, and your guide is of great help. Though, I am installing Debian instead of Arch Linux, and I use ntfs-3g because ntfs3 is not enabled by Debian's kernel, so my situation and what I have done is a bit different to the guide.

The installation was successful. Because I need to use POSIX ACL feature, I happened to enable ntfs-3g's acl mount option in my bootloader (GRUB2):

# In /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rootfstype=ntfs-3g rootflags=permissions,acl,recover,suid subroot=XXX"

Then I found I am able to normally shutdown and reboot the system! Maybe the workaround is also useful to people installing ArchLinux, following your guide.

I am going to merge this on good faith because I really cannot be bothered to test this for myself.
