What is this file mode changing about ?

and then there are
issues of mapping user and group IDs and possibly modification time,

I am not aware of a modification time issue. I have just
discovered there is an access time issue, caused by vfs
reading from its own cache, without ntfs-3g being notified.

not to mention tools
availability (fsck, etc.).

There are several tools included in Hipster(resizing,
cloning, undeleting, etc.)

You can also run the Windows chkdsk on OpenIndiana :

(you will have to recompile using a compiler
compatible with Windows, if you have difficulties
ask me for an executable).
