    Good evening,

    I'll most likely end up posting over on the Freenas forums tonight, but I figure I would give it a shot here.

    Request.

    phpVirtualbox requires access to host CD/DVD drive as I've installed VortexBox (Automatic CD ripper to FLAC and conversion to MP3)

    So far, total fail at finding a solution.

    Headache is I assumed it would just work, as the world of linux has become just that good in recent years, so based on that assumption I purchased a DVD drive specifically for this project, (Yes they still make them, lol) and should it not work, it would be rather annoying.

    If it was or wasn't I wouldn't have a clue :)

    Basically I can't select the host drive from the phpVirtualbox gui.

    I suspect I need to mount the drive in freenas, then set permission of some sort, then share it under the jails storage for the virtual machine jail.

    It's the first two, mounting and permissions of the mount that have stumped me

    If you notice, no host drive listed
