setting up hast and carp

[cruzmiester]

I'm using FreeNAS 8.3, I'm trying to follow some guides to set up hast and carp, I'm able to change the configuration files, but when I reboot my changes get reset to their original install configuration. Is there any way to stop this from happening.

Thanks for the help.

You're probably modifying the in-memory copy of config files. If you want persistent changes, I think you need to be on the /conf/base tree. And some stuff gets regenerated from the FreeNAS db, but I don't think that affects this situation (I haven't read the guide you're following). Anyway, this should give you some idea of what you need to do (or at least search on the forum for).

It sounds like you need to do this in the plugin jail, not on the root system. You should never try to install or modify the root system, because it's just an image that gets loaded into memory and doesn't really "save" anything except what gets written to the config database. The plugin jail is how you install extra software. Read the fine manual.
