After testing iocage today I do come to the conclusion that it does what it is made for: perfect wrapper script for jail functionality. I did get sam test jails running vnet, quite easily. But, I will not use iocage as a substitute for ezjail, not due to lacking functionality, no en contre, rather due to "inflexibility" from *my* point of view. Those UUIDs irritate me, and they make "zfs list" rather "odd looking". And, I do miss "flexibility" regarding where to nail "iocage" into my zpool filesystem. I am using beadm boot environments, and I am used to stick ezjail's basejail to those. If upgrading a basejail went wrong I will have a fallback basejail at hand. Anyway, I am currently testing jail management "the hard way" aka own scripts ;-) Regards, Michael _______________________________________________ freebsd-jail@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-jail To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-jail-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
