[andrenel212]

Hi,

Im new to FreeNAs so go easy on me. I installed plugins, created storage for Jails but now my plugin services wont start. I get the following errors:

 

[Jailer]

Did you change the permissions on your jails dataset?

 

[andrenel212]

No I dont know how SB

Volumes > Click on the jails storage > at the bottom left one of those buttons is for permissions. Go ahead and click it, and set it up as applicable to your setup.

I checked the permissions and all 777, when i update permission i get the following errors in system console:

Before we continue can you post build version and full hardware specs?

 

[andrenel212]

Hi,

I am running a virtual machine through vmware on my imac temporarily once i can get this working i will purchase a pc.

 

[Vito Reiter]

Running FreeNAS in a VM with less than the recommended hardware specs is not a very good testing environment. Just double check your network settings and make sure they're setup correctly as well since it's not a hard-line and probably either VirtIO and/or bridged.

I get the same problems when running a vm off my MacBook with 8gb ram. Don't won't to fork out the cash if it doesmt work but guess will have to bite the bullet

You can make a FreeNAS boot USB and test it with a real machine temporarily. I'm not saying go out and buy a whole system, just saying FreeNAS isn't built to be run in a VM. Also, if you got the same error on two different setups, maybe research how you're setting it up and if it's the correct way per what you're trying to do.
