<span style='font-family:Verdana'><span style='font-size:12px'>Hi All,<br />
<br />
I was wondering if OmniTI would be interested in adding the ntfs-3g/fuse packages to the main repo. Correct if I'm wrong, but I believe that the whole community would benefit from it.<br />
<br />
Have you guys had this type of request for file system support before? I would think that would be better to have it in the official OmniOS repo, rather than a third party one.<br />
<br />
I would be interested to hear any related comments, thoughts, rants, etc ;-)<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
Fabio<br />

<span style="font-family:Verdana"><span style="font-size:12px">Hi Jean-Pierre,<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
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 ;-)<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

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.

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.

> 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/
