That said, is there some special configure flags we should be passing in our version of the port to properly stuff glusterfs into /var instead? Your email tends to imply that we should be passing —localstatedir, which we can certainly do no problem, I’m just wondering if that’s your long-term plan. Again, this is our port: https://github.com/freenas/ports/tree/freenas/9-stable/sysutils/glusterfs > > The fundamental issue with /usr/local is, again, that /usr/local is read-only on FreeNAS. If there are configuration files that glusterfs expects to be modifiable, they can’t live anywhere in /usr/local, nor of course can any temporary files or log files. We have made special provisions for /etc and /var such that those can be modified, so we basically just need to compile gluster as a “system service” and put it in the system directories (e.g. prefix is /, not /usr/local). > Ah now i get it - "/usr/local" is not a requirement for "GlusterFS" it is a baggage of using "autotools" when during ./configure if you do not specify --prefix - so for a standard installation under RPM it is usually the following flags are used # ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --libdir=/usr/lib64 Since FreeBSD doesn't need "/usr/lib64" you could just use for packages # ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var -- Religious confuse piety with mere ritual, the virtuous confuse regulation with outcomeshome | help
