Fellow BSDers,
I'm trying to figure out the best layout for multiple jails.
I'd like to share binaries across jails - patches and packages only
need to be installed once, and it saves a lot of space. So these
directories would be shared and read-only:
/bin
/sbin
/usr (except /usr/local/etc)
/var/db/pkg
And these would be private:
/etc
/usr/local/etc
/var (except /var/db/pkg)
The current plan is to move all the shared stuff into /shared, and
mount it read-only into each jail with nullfs. Then /usr/local/etc is
moved into /private. This is how it looks inside the jail:

-f root

I think this will work, but it seems kind of messy. Am I missing a
simpler way?
Thanks
Rob.
