Recently I've been working on a FreeNAS system aimed at storing a large amount of data, mostly video files. I set up a test system using a couple of 1TB hard disks and now I want to transition recreate the volume using 3TB hard disk. Sadly, according to this list the current version of the system's Adaptec Raid BIOS (52445, build 17544, where I need build 17911) doesn't support 3TB disks.
So far, I've found the latest Adaptec Driver I need, but I've been struggling to get it installed.
I have a .tgz file on a USB stick now, which I've been trying to install using the Shell, giving the following results:
# mkdir /mnt/test/usb
# mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/test/usb
# cp /mnt/test/usb/aac8x-amd.tgz /tmp
# pkg_add /tmp/aac8x-amd64.tgz
mkdir: /usr/local/drivers: Read-only file system
pkg_add: leave_playpen: can't chdir back to ' '
At this point I've got two questions:# mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/test/usb
# cp /mnt/test/usb/aac8x-amd.tgz /tmp
# pkg_add /tmp/aac8x-amd64.tgz
mkdir: /usr/local/drivers: Read-only file system
pkg_add: leave_playpen: can't chdir back to ' '

1: Is it even possible to update the Adaptec RAID drivers from FreeNAS?

2: If it IS possible, am I going about this the right way? And if so, what can I do about the errors the pkg_add command gives?

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
