Freenas Full Install Xzavier
6/8/2019 admin
I want to install FreeNAS with my own partitioning scheme. And I don't want to configure FreeNAS manually, but I want to use full-disk encryption.
So I've been playing with FreeNAS over the last week, finally trying to get my act together and store my important files properly.
- Installing and Configuring FreeNAS (Network-attached Storage). Download FreeNAS 9.2.1.8. Vi/Vim Editor BEGINNER'S GUIDE Learn vi/vim as a Full Text Editor.
- FreeNAS offers a stable platform for home and office use. From a simple file server to a connected media hub, it's possible to configure FreeNAS to perform a variety of tasks on behalf of other PCs on the same network. Thankfully, to install the OS, it doesn't require much time or knowledge.
I'm finding myself wanting to install and compile additional packages.
pkg_add has been great for some things, but it appears that my install is rather crippled.
- make is missing. I installed gmake and linked make to that.
- math.h is missing as is sys/cdefs.h I thought these are part of any core unix/linux system?
- cc is missing though I've installed gcc45. I'm used to having just gcc. Sure I can create a link, but I'm not sure this is the proper thing to do.
- perl installed fine, but I can't add stuff with cpan. This is how I discovered 1,2, and 3.
So my question is this: do I just need to bite the bullet and install a full FreeBSD? The web interface to FreeNAS is kinda nice

I know how frustrating and stressful this whole thing is!!
My alternative to this problem is to create a freebsd jail on top of freenas.
Then you're able to issue any commands you desire and can also link them together!
This is the simplest way I found so far to achieve this and it's awesome!http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/freenas/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=8942
Hope that helps!
