00:36:39 <jclulow> sjorge: Yes, that is indeed the kernel driver.
00:36:55 <jclulow> sjorge: If you would like, I have a WIP replacement FTDI driver you could try
00:52:11 <jclulow> sjorge: Well anyway if you want to try it, I have squashed it and put it at https://github.com/jclulow/illumos-gate/tree/serdev-20220919-01
12:31:29 <sjorge> Interesting, now I need to figure out how compale that into a pkg archive to throw over my omnios-bloody install
21:19:03 <nomad> QQ: user wants to hand me an NTFS-formatted USB drive to load data into OmniOS. I know Linux's support for NTFS has always been spotty but I don't think I've ever tried with OmniOS. Anyone here know if it's even worth trying?
21:20:05 <richlowe> the only ntfs stuff I know is the exact same as the linux userland stuff
21:20:28 <nomad> that's better than what I remember but ... I think I'll have them find an alternative.
21:39:09 <toasterson> download a free windows VM and SMB?
21:39:50 <nomad> The OmniOS hosts are strictly file servers. I'd prefer not to taint them.
21:40:09 <nomad> Most likely we'll connect it to an existing windows host and scp.
21:40:23 <nomad> at least that way the data will be on the local network instead of the far end of a narrow straw.
21:49:36 * nomad idly ponders writing  a raw tarfile to the USB drive
21:49:43 <nomad> kinky but probably not worth it.
21:49:51 <nomad> Not sure windows will even do such a thing.
21:51:35 <toasterson> actually it does. with wsl
21:51:47 <toasterson> which should have raw device access
21:52:09 <toasterson> or a natively compiled gnu tar with cygwin 
21:54:16 <toasterson> with tar you could also get away with vfat
21:54:26 <toasterson> or 7zip with archive splitting
