I have a backup application that was formerly run on a standalone FreeBSD system. I am trying to figure out the best way to get it going on top of FreeNAS. It has some minor dependencies on packages that are not installed with the base install of FreeNAS, so it looked like running inside a jail would be the ticket.
The application needs both administrative delegation over a tree of zfs filesystems and the ability to mount NFS volumes (amd). It seems that I may be able to get ZFS management inside the jail, but NFS Client inside the jail still seems to be a no-go even with a VIMAGE jail. I have found various FreeBSD and FreeNAS bug reports and discussions about this but have been unable to get either in-jail ZFS management or NFS client working.
I am considering that the best option in this case may be simply to try to bring the few dependencies over to the FreeNAS base system and deal with the consequences of having a couple of packages manually installed. Is there a better way to approach this problem?
