`<span style='font-family:Verdana'><span style='font-size:12px'>Hi Jean-Pierre,<br />
<br />
So, I've downloaded the following packages (for OpenIndiana):<br />
<br />
- fuse-kernel-1.0AR.7.pkg<br />
- ntfs-3g_ntfsprogs-2012.1.15AR.8.pkg64<br />
<br />
Explanining my choice, I just followed the theory that OmniOS and OpenIndiana share the same illumos core. The installation was successfully and I manage to mount my NTFS USB using command line. I've tested both options (just in case), to mount using "ntfs-3g -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p1 /mnt/usb" and "mount -F ntfs-3g -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p1 /mnt/usb".<br />
<br />
Doing the copies I need and, using rsync (the one available from OmniOS repo), I'm getting about ~7 to 10 MB/s max. Would this be something you're expecting to see as well under OpenIndiana or you think it might be something to do with me using a OpenIndiana package on OmniOS. <br />
<br />
More info about my install:<br />

Anyway, besides having that feeling it's a bit slow, so far so good. I was wondering about the possibility of those two packages being available and maintain in the OmniOS repo (this would be more a question to OmniIT maybe?!).<br />
<br />
Thank you very much for your help!!!<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
Fabio<br />

<br />
Hmmm, that's makes sense about the NTFS being a closed-source implementation, so that's why it's not present yet.<br />
<br />
Since the two packages haven't worked properly and, as you have pointed out, they're old, it's enough good reason for me to remove them. Giving a try with ntfs-3g soon ;-)<br />
<br />
I'll let you know.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

AFAIK, (apart from Microsoft) only Tuxera has an in-kernel
implementation of an NTFS driver. It is a closed-source one,
which has not been adapted to Solaris and friends.

This is a very old package from a dead project. Be prepared
to get into problems with 4k sector devices.
It has been taken over by ntfs-3g and it is now part of
the ntfs-3g releases and it has been ported to OpenIndiana.
The source code and executables for OpenIndiana are available on
http://jp-andre.pagesperso-orange.fr/openindiana-ntfs-3g.html
(the same source code on Tuxera at
http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-advanced/#download)
