Hey thanks a ton for this. I was able to install IOtop via un-get, and was even able to build and install my frr.tgz from the slackware repo, but I can't seem to find where it all went. It was my understanding that packages in the /boot/extra directory get installed on boot, but that doesn't seem to work properly.
At the end of the day I'm definitely asking unraid to do a lot more than it was designed to do and I should pull it back a bit. Even if I did get routing setup I would have to stop and start all the things to add new interfaces. I'm just going to predefine a pile a dummy vlans and let something else do all the routing and firewalling between VLANs.
Seriously, thank you again for helping me out.
