Creat a Jail is impossible

[killerloop]

Hello everyone and Happy New Year.

I am french, so i'm sorry if you don't understand me
I come to you in desperation.
I started in the FreeNAS adventure and everything went well thanks to the different time tutorial to configure and create a jail for installing plugins.

I'm creating a ZFS "Jail" dataset in my disc, with permissions read, write and executable for my use.
But once the jail configure when I try to create one, I get the following message appears:

http://cdn.freenas.org/9.2.0/RELEASE/x64/jails/freenas-pluginjail-9.2-RELEASE.tgz: Operation timed out ERROR: Failed extracting: http://cdn.freenas.org/9.2.0/RELEASE/x64/jails/freenas-pluginjail-9.2-RELEASE.tgz cannot open 'NAS/PLUGINS/Jails/.warden-template-pluginjail': dataset does not exist ERROR: Failed to create ZFS base dataset
Can you help me ?
many thanks

Hi,

welcome!

You could try widening the permissions to allow all users as a trial - also make sure you configure the jails options to point to your dataset correctly

Hi,
many thanks for your help.
I tried what you say, but when I add a jail, this message appear:

Unable to find template!

in the template, the URL for jail is : http://cdn.freenas.org/9.2.0/RELEASE/x64/jails/freenas-pluginjail-9.2-RELEASE.tgz

What can I do ?

thanks a lot

 

[rm-r]

if you click on that link in a browser do you get to download the template? can you ping google.com from the freenas box?

 

[killerloop]

when I click on that link I download the template.
How can I do to ping google.com from my freenas ?
thanks a lot

 

[rm-r]

in the webgui - click the "shell" option - in the popup window type

ping www.google.com

In your Network setup, ensure you have set you DNS server. Most people can use their router address here (192.168.1.1 or maybe 192.168.0.1). If you can ping then you probably have the DNS setup.

Make sure that the configured jail root directory is a properly mounted an accessible file system with enough space.
If the download of the template file fails you always get "Template not found" instead of a more reasonable message "Could not write to xyz"

I have the same problem. Network access from my FreeNAS box works, including DNS etc. My jail directory's ownership is root:wheel rwxr-xr-x. There, a directory ".warden-template-debian-7.1.0/" gets created and the template downloaded, but in the next step I am getting "Unable to find template."

I was actually trying to create a Debian jail last night and ran into something similar.

The template would get to less than 50% in the download and fail ("an error occurred"). It would seem like the jail creation had been stopped, but looking on disk the template was there. A few seconds later the jail dataset would be created and a bit later would show up in the GUI as running. I could jexec into the jail and start running commands. The first thing I tried was 'apt-get update' and 'upgrade' (any reason to avoid these?) and I started to see errors (one related to unsafe or unprotected memory and others related to hardware and permissions). I assume that the errors are due to an incomplete install or the incomplete Linux compatibility layer.

I've had the same problem installing a plugin with a virtualized freeNas 9.2.1.2.

Check the following:

jails -> configuration -> advanced -> collection url

the inserted url lead to an error 404 as i opened it at the browser. After inserting http://cdn.freenas.org/9.2.0/RELEASE/x64/jails/ i could create jails and plugins.

Why did you respond to a thread from 4 months ago?

Why did you respond to a thread from 4 months ago?

Because it doesn't has a solution and nothing is more frustating than finding a thread with your problem with no solution.

 

[cyberjock]

But if you search the forums the problem from months ago and the problem from yesterday/today is not related. There was a server problem here. ;)

 

[Rand]

And actually the URI you inserted results in 404 too;)

 

[cyberjock]

Yeah.. that's part of the problem. Had to fix it on iX's side from what I understand and its taking time to replicate across the world.
