Hi
I'm trying to install unrar to FreeNAS. I followed this guide to install it. I then get the error I you can see here. I did what the guy said and installed it into a jail called unrar. It worked perfectly fine and I can also unrar things, but only WITHIN the jail. In the blog though it says that with the command "alias unrar ‘/usr/local/bin/unrar’" I should be able to use the command from anywhere. So I ran it, but I still can't use unrar outside the jail.
So then I read here (german site, there are some quotes in english, which are important) that I cannot install it to FreeNAS because it's partition is not writeable. I could make it writeable, but that might mess stuff up. So the guy ran "mount -uw /" and he then could install rar.[/URL]
Now I don't know what mount -uw does and if it is a good idea. So my questions are
1. Should I do the mount thing to install it?
2. If not, how can I install unrar/rar/zip whatever to my FreeNAS?
I need it to extract many files and it takes a really long time doing it from Windows on my NAS.
