Loading modules to FreeNAS

[Matej Jurkic]

Hi all,

could you point me how to load additional modules into FreeNAS?

I've read about tunables, but problem occurs when I try copying additional kernel modules (*.ko) into "/boot/kernel" directory as it is read-only.

I'm using ssh to log-on to the root account, via WinSCP.

Many thanks,
Matej

1. mount -uw /
2. Make your changes
3. mount -r /

Thank you very much gpsguy.

I copied all required modules into /boot/kernel directory, created tunables, but "kldstat" command does not show any new process runing, is that normal?

Which module are you trying to load?

 

[Matej Jurkic]

ng (netgraph) modules, all of them

The question I have is - should modules be copied to /boot/kernel in root O/S or in jail? I presume in root O/S?

Ok, new situation:

loading one of existing modules (i.e. logo_saver.ko) works just fine with kldload, but none of additional modules (i.e. ng_ppp.ko, I've done "chmod 777" on it), can anyone help?

NOTE: please see error:

Code:

[root@freenas] /boot/kernel# ls
./                  geom_fox.ko*        geom_raid3.ko.gz*  libiconv.ko*
../                geom_gate.ko.gz*    geom_sched.ko*      libmchain.ko*
NG_TTY.KO*          geom_journal.ko*    geom_shsec.ko*      logo_saver.ko*
 
 
[root@freenas] /boot/kernel# kldload NG_TTY.KO
kldload: can't load NG_TTY.KO: No such file or directory

Many thanks,
Matej
