plugin install

Hi, I'm trying to install ajaxplorer, I was wondering why do the plugins have to be installed on a different drive from the OS, can't they be installed on the same drive ? I'm trying to keep everything compact to it can be replicated easily

The partition the OS goes on is only 1GB and it has about 5MB free. :P

hahaha ok that makes sense. why is that ? most flash drives are now 2-4 gb minimum !
is it possible to increase the partition size so I can keep everything together ? maybe during the install or after ?
thanks

It's a hard set value and requires rebuilding FreeNAS to change it. It was done to prevent what you and tons of others think is a great idea, but causes premature failure of the flash drive. There is another thread started by @joeschmuck I believe that talks about how you can install your jail on a separate flash drive, but the OFFICIAL recommendation is to NOT install the plugin jail on a flash drive.
