Well being found in rdsk and dsk folder contents doesn't give any guarantee
that the mount point really exists or is really your disk. Run the format
command to get to know the disk number.

They work well over ZFS - actually it would work on any FS as their work is
not to deal with ZFS/UFS but to mount NTFS and extFS - but I know that it
works on ZFS for sure since I use it.

Also, you should try this new thing called 'fusefs' for NTFS mounting on
Solaris which even gives WRITE support !:
