Hi Jean-Pierre,<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 />
Fabio<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)
Regards
Jean-Pierre
