FreeNAS as a Print Server

Step 3 Put ulpt.ko In The Right Spot

Use your preferred method (ftp, smb, etc.) to put the ulpt.ko file somewhere onto the FreeNAS box, and remember the full path (I'll call it UPath), which will probably be something like /mnt/drivename/ulpt.ko

Go back to the terminal with the SSH connection and command prompt, we're going to move the file to the proper place. Type:

mv Upath /boot/kernel/ulpt.ko

That ought to do it.

No, he is correct. Even as root, /boot/kernel will not allow any new files to be added to it.

I should have included that I am trying this instructable on FreeNAS v.8.0.1. I have tried several ways to get the ulpt.ko file into the /boot/kernel directory, and it will NOT let me write to it or change the permissions on the directory.

Is this ok? just to clear stuff up?

freenas# mv /mnt/start/ulpt.ko /boot/kernel/ulpt.ko
mv: rename /mnt/start/ulpt.ko to /boot/kernel/ulpt.ko: Read-only file system

The 256MB CF card running my OS just doesn't have the storage for this :-( Too bad the Seagate ST1 I pulled out of my Zen doesn't run in ATA mode or I would use that. 

I will order a (hopefully) compatible microdrive and report back.

why dose it say freenas:~# mv /mnt/Jose 2/boot/kernel/ulpt.ko
mv: rename /mnt/Jose to 2/boot/kernel/ulpt.ko: No such file or directory

[Tau_Zero]

it says that because you're not using the correct paths.
I'm assuming that ulpt.ko is currently at /mnt/Jose/ulpt.ko , right?
You also have a 2 in your destination directory for some reason.

Try:
mv /mnt/Jose/ulpt.ko /boot/kernel/ulpt.ko
