I know FreeNAS is not supposed to be used to write into NTFS FS. I also know that USB Passthrough, even through PCI, is not fully supported yet without hacking around. But consider that you have no other option.. you need to write into a NTFS device (USB/Thunderbolt/eSata..) and you can't get away with samba share... how would you do it?
Would it be possible to mount the NTFS device for writing on FreeNAS and map that volume to a VM/Docker running an OS able to write on that FS so the VM's OS makes the actual writing ?
If that's not possible, maybe create some kind of virtual ntfs volume inside the VM and use something like `ntfsclone` ?
Would any strategy/workaround work or FreeNAS really isn't incompatible with ntfs devices for writting until bhyve fully supports USB Passthrough ?
