linux - OpenSolaris and NTFS


Is there any way to mount NTFS partitions in OpenSolaris? This is the main issue preventing me from testing it out for more than a day. I need to be able to mount my external. I have vast experience with GNU/Linux and want to try out other Free-Libre Operating Systems.



Answer



You'll need the ntfs-3g driver just like on GNU/Linux systems. You can grab it here from sunfreepacks.com as ASntfs-3g-2009.4.4. Install the 3 packages on the top first though, GNUBase, ASgettext, and ASlibiconv-1.12.


You can then mount them like so:


pfexec ntfs-3g /dev/dsk/c5t0d0p1 ~/Desktop/mount 

Of course, change the disk and partition accordingly.
