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".
When reading the only difference between ro and rw
is the updating of access times (not done in ro).
In some situations the low level driver ("mount -F lowntfs")
may be faster.
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.
This is a good throughput to an USB key.
On a spinning disk, I get about 20MB/s on Linux, but
I have not much experience on OpenIndiana (and none with
OmniOS).
The bottleneck is generally the fuse communication
between the kernel and file system driver in user space.
More info about my install:

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?!).
As a developer, I only maintain the sources, and just make
available the executables which I am using myself.
It is up to the distributors to do the packaging with their
own tools. I can accept merging into the common source code
some ifdef'ed code specific to a distribution.
ntfs-3g (including ntfsprogs and the fuse library) is maintained
on sourceforge : http://ntfs-3g.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb-index.cgi
and the fuse kernel module for OpenIndiana is maintained on
github : https://github.com/jurikm/illumos-fusefs/commits/master/

Jean-Pierre
Thank you very much for your help!!!
Cheers,
Fabio
