FreeNAS software version, what does your SSH config look like, what did you try to install (minecraft?) and how did you go about it?

 

[poldas]

1. FreeNAS software version 8.0.4
2. I don't have SSH config, I don't have direct access to host...
3. When I was installing I used only 2 commands:

Code:

mount -uw /dev/ufs/FreeNASs1a
pkg_add mc-light -r

FreeNAS is tiny, and installing software directly in the root volume is asking for trouble. It's only 1GB per slice and just about all of that is needed. If you want to install custom software, you should really upgrade to 8.2.0 (or 8.3.0 once it comes out) and use the plugin jail. Of course, that's not ideal for mc for obvious reasons.

What do you mean you don't have direct access to host? Did you lose access to the web interface as well?

 

[poldas]

Web interface works, FreeNAS doesn't see Storage. FreeNAS host is in another office

 

[ben]

If web interface works than you have access to the settings page for SSH (under services). That's what you'd look at for the SSH config. You should also enable the console footer in the web interface (Settings Tab, Advanced, check "Enable console messages in the footer" save and then refresh the web browser). That footer presents a feed of /var/log/messages, where errors go. You can click on it to make it bigger. I'd suggest looking at that with one eye while trying to ssh in with the other, if just reviewing the SSH confuration doesn't answer your question.

Today I discover another problem, CIFS service doesn't work. Now I have physical access. I've installed new firmware FreeNAS on USB stick and everything works ok

Can I safely install Midnight Commander on my FreeNAS 8.2?

 

[ben]

http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Plugins#Installing_non-PBI_Software has instructions. Not sure how midnight commander will work in a jail, but it's worth a shot. You can mount points in volumes within the jail, so if browsing you storage is all you want with it, you may be fine.

@ben - thank you for answer
