rar2fs in jail on FreeNAS 9.10: Operation not permitted

[pyakex]

Hi all,
I would like to use rar2fs inside a jail on FreeNAS 9.10.

I've installed rar2fs by running

pkg install fusefs-rar2fs-1.15.1_1

inside the jail.

In the FreeNAS GUI I've added

fuse_load
YES

in Loader under System->Tunables.

The Sysctls of the jail is

allow.raw_sockets=true,allow.mount=true,allow.mount.devfs=true,enforce_statfs=1,devfs_ruleset=100

When I try to mount i get the following error:

# rar2fs media media_rar
mount_fusefs: /dev/fuse on /media_rar: Operation not permitted
fuse: failed to mount file system: No such file or directory

I'm not sure about how to edit the rules, or if it's needed, as /dev/fuse seems to have sufficient permissions:

# ls -la /dev/fuse
crw-rw---- 1 root operator 0x52 Aug 14 17:42 /dev/fuse

# ls -lda media*
drwxrwxr-x+ 6 root 1002 8 Aug 14 13:10 media
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2 Aug 14 14:01 media_rar

Any ideas that could help me get this working?

Jails have limited access. To do this, you may want to set-up a VM using iohyve.

I would prefer to avoid that. Do you say that i can't be done in a jail or is using iohyve just an alternative solution?

Did you manage to get anywhere with this in the end? I just started playing around with FreeNAS this week and finally managed to get most of it working - bit of a unix n00b...
I had rar2fs working fine on an old Ubuntu set up but on FreeNAS I can't seem to get it to mount...

I installed the rar2fs package on the same jail as Plex is installed and wherever I seem to attempt to set the mount point, it just returns an invalid source and/or mount point error.

I have a jail storage set up with a source /mnt/data/ for Plex which works fine with a number of subfolders inside, destination /media/
I'm attempting:
rar2fs /media/movie /media/movie-unrar

Any help would be much appreciated! Cheers

Solved this for me! The Quick way at the bottom worked like a charm! Thanks again Goran!

To confirm, if you use Goran's "quick way" in the ssh shell - not within the jail, and make sure that the rar2fs mounted folder is able to read the files ok, then mount the rar2fs folder in the Plex jail.
