FreeNAS 9.1 Jail Setup

[Savell Martin]

Hi guys.

So I have recently got FreeNAS and decided to install the 9.1.
I found the SabNZBD and CP/HP/SB plugins.

But I cannot figure out how to install the Jail.

I have 1x 16gb USB (FreeNAS Install)
and 4x 3tb WD Reds

I can install a separate HDD to use for the jail if this is easier/better?

But ultimately my question is how the heck do I get jails setup so that I can install .pbi's?

Instructions for installing the 9.1 jail are here:

http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Using_Jails_to_Install_Additional_Software

Note that the PBIs that you mentioned were built for 8.x and are incompatible with the 9.x ABI (they won't work). However, some of these are available as PC-BSD PBIs (see http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/PBI_Requests). Refer to that chapter in the first link to learn which type of jail to add and how to install/configure PC-BSD PBIs.

Thanks for that speedy response.
Sorry but I had gone to bed.

I have read through that last night when trying to set it up.
But I am a Linux N00b and didnt really understand it.

I think I will setup another drive to act as the Jail drive, but not sure how to get it all setup.

You're even more of a linux noob than you say.. FreeNAS isn't Linux :D

It's okay.. its a common mistake.
