Hi Jean-Pierre, So, I've downloaded the following packages (for OpenIndiana):
- fuse-kernel-1.0AR.7.pkg - ntfs-3g_ntfsprogs-2012.1.15AR.8.pkg64 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". 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.

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?!). Thank you very much for your help!!!

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 ;-) I'll let you know.

It is a closed-source one, which has not been adapted to Solaris and friends.

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.
