How can I mount MS Windows NTFS filesystems in Solaris?

Mounting NTFS in Solaris is supported by mount_ntfs, by Martin Rosenau, and packages FSWfsmisc and FSWfspart, by Moinak Ghosh (and based on Martin Rosenau’s work and part of Moinak’s BeleniX work). I use and recommend FSWfsmisc/FSWfspart as it allows mount directly from the mount(1M) command and /etc/vfstab, supports extended partitions, and supports NTFS. Both are explained below and both work with Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris (“Nevada”). Download the package file for FSWfsmisc/FSWfspart from http://www.belenix.org/binfiles/FSWpart.tar.
