installing SVN on freenas server errors

Question

I have the updated version of freenas 8.0.2. As root user I run the command "pkg_add -r subversion"

It starts fetching from the ftp server and a series of commands start streaming down the screen.. I see a lot of word "failed" shown below

It seems most people do not have a problem running "pkg_add -r subversion", it just works for them. I dont know why its different in my case.

Thanks.

Answer 1

It seems to me that you've used embedded install for freenas instead of full (http://www.installationwiki.org/Installing_FreeNAS#Embedded_versus_Full) which means it's not really suitable for installing third party packages. You may want to use full install instead, it which case you likely won't need any additional tweaks.

In your case, though you may mount the root filesystem read-write with mount -u /, as your /var (which stores package database) is stored in memory and will be lost after reboot, you will have problems with deinstalling/updating installed packages and installing additional software, and other things may break. So I recommend to use Full install of FreeNAS.
