Hi Jean-Pierre,
Just to clarify, it wasn't an USB key, but a 1TB Seagate USB 2.0 external
drive. I'll give a try with the lowntfs to check the speed as well.
Again, thank you very much for your help. I'll forward an e-mail to the OmniOS
list and let's see if OmniTI or anybody else will be willing to add
fuse/ntfs-3g to the distro. I would do it myself, but I'm far from being a
developer ;-)
Cheers,
Fabio

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: >

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 :
