I had similar experience with fuse and ntfs-3g after upgrading to some
of the later Osol dev releases, too.
But I compiled fuse and then ntfs-3g again and everything started to
functioning like it was before. I use it now on OI and everything works
fine, like before.

It is even better if there is ntfs support with fuse inside some IPS
repository, soo after installing/upgrading to OpenIndiana, one can just
add that new IPS publisher and click-install it from packagemanager. Any
idea/support for making this new IPS repository with such (and other)
tools like that and making is available?

These are *_old_* instructions (I suppose there are newer ones now
somewhere):

To mount: pfexec ntfs-3g /dev/dsk/c7d0p1 /media/ntfs (or where partition is or mount point you like)
Or see with pfexec format and pfexec fdisk /dev/rdsk/_diskname_ what ntfs partition is. 
Same goes if Ntfs disk is plugged in USB port and works the same.
