Freenas Full Install Xzavier
So I've been playing with FreeNAS over the last week, finally trying to get my act together and store my important files properly. Asus life frame 3 instructions.
Ask Engadget: What's the best. How-To: Set up a home file server using FreeNAS 02.01.12. One USB thumb drive to install the FreeNAS OS image. Added by Xavier Lagraula almost 6 years ago. Updated over. I run freenas on a VM on a dedicated server hosted by OVH, in bridge mode. There seem to be no clean way to make persistent change to the configuration through CLI. Still does not replace a proper way to do this through the installer and the GUI, though.
I'm finding myself wanting to install and compile additional packages.
pkg_add has been great for some things, but it appears that my install is rather crippled.
- make is missing. I installed gmake and linked make to that.
- math.h is missing as is sys/cdefs.h I thought these are part of any core unix/linux system?
- cc is missing though I've installed gcc45. I'm used to having just gcc. Sure I can create a link, but I'm not sure this is the proper thing to do.
- perl installed fine, but I can't add stuff with cpan. This is how I discovered 1,2, and 3.
So my question is this: do I just need to bite the bullet and install a full FreeBSD? The web interface to FreeNAS is kinda nice

I know how frustrating and stressful this whole thing is!!
My alternative to this problem is to create a freebsd jail on top of freenas.
Then you're able to issue any commands you desire and can also link them together!
