Strange... NTFS-3G works in OpenIndiana for example (r/w, with moderate
glitches for me - i.e. many directories seem empty until refreshed, but
nothing like data loss or corruption).

It is not AFAIK part of the OS, though is available in another repo.

I wonder if anything forbids its use in OmniOS?

Alternately, if there IS something fundamental here, you can use either
a Live Media boot, or an alternate BE, or a VM (with USB passthrough),
and use OI to transfer data from NTFS to ZFS. Alternately, rsync also
works on Windows (I use cwRsync, latest free version - I think they
went proprietary some time back).
