Sorry for not being clear. I meant to say that I have not tried any illumos-based distro yet, but the first one I will try is OpenIndiana (asap), and I wanted to get a heads-up on the procedure.
Thanks Jim for the link, i like seeing familiar things like ntfs-3g which I use with Linux, even if it's not automatic (well I use the command line a lot, so I am no stranger to issuing the GNU "mount" command myself, but I never had to specify the filesystem type since the filesystem detection took care of it. As long as it does work, I'm fine with the command line method. So for Fabio's case, he is struggling with the fact that the ntfs-3g software is not as conveniently available with his distro OmniOS, compared to the OpenIindiana repository package, and that is why there have been two suggestions to use network protocols (rsync or NFS) instead of trying to get it to work. In my time with Linux, if I wanted to do this, I'd look for a precompiled binary with no package management -- pretending Openindiana used something like "RPM" packages, in which case I'd look for the generic ".tar.gz" binary for OmniOS... Based on my experience with Linux would require more configuration then a packaged version, but not nearly as painful as trying to compile it myself! Or, are these two illumos distros too different to run the same generic binary?
