jails, plugin, iocage, 11.2 >>> problem.

[Lazulitone]

I am trying to migrate a Plex warden jail to a new iocage based PlexPass server. I can't get jails to work in FreeNAS-11.2-STABLE. I am seeing dozens of FreeNAS users with similar issues over the past 3 weeks. I've noticed many of these issues began after the upgrade to FreeNAS-11.2. Can we get some attention from some of our FreeNAS super users out there? I have looked at permissions, networking (DHCP vs VNET), upgrade trains, plugin vs cli installations, dataset configurations, etc and I'm feeling underwater. Currently I cannot run cli operations from any jail without getting stuck. It seems like the FreeNAS core is broken.

When I try to install the PlexPass plugin I get the following error:

Currently, I believe there is something wrong with my iocage. Is there a way to reset iocage and not have to completely start over with freeNAS from scratch? I have no working iocage plugins and I am seeking a fresh start. I attempted to update iocage. It downloaded a newer version 11.2 which doesn't seem to work.

Did you change the permissions of your jails dataset?

Did you change the permissions of your jails dataset?

It definitely feels like a permissions issue. This is the first time I've tried to run anything in 11.2 using iocage. I fear the permissions were not originally setup properly. I did not try to change permissions on anything. I managed to get a server unpackaged using iocage exec from root.


Trying to start the server produces this:

Code:

root@NomNomNas:~ # iocage exec PlexPassServer service plexmediaserver_plexpass start
plexmediaserver_plexpass does not exist in /etc/rc.d or the local startup
directories (/usr/local/etc/rc.d), or is not executable

The rc.d file looks empty even though I ran this:

Code:

root@NomNomNas:~ # iocage exec PlexPassServer sysrc "plexmediaserver_plexpass_enable=YES"
plexmediaserver_plexpass_enable: YES -> YES

Write permissions not correct?
Thank you for your help.

I'm reading that I'm not the only one having issues with permissions in iocage:

Making progress on this. When I upgraded my Freenas core to 11.2 I believe I had a corrupted version of iocage. After struggling with this for 3 weeks I decided to take the plunge and delete the iocage dataset and start over. I attempted to do this from the gui and it gave me trouble... "Unable to delete dataset". I was persistant. After rebooting my box 3 times I was able to delete what was left of the iocage dataset using the gui.

It was easy to rebuild the dataset from the CLI. I used the gui to config a new dataset and continued to install plex from the CLI. The process seems to have worked. Based on this experience I can say that my original iocage dataset was corrupted in some way.

This particular issue is typically caused when you create a Windows-type share that adds ACLs to the iocage dataset
