Hi, Jails don't absolutely need to have the same root. I'm not sure where you found your "JAIL_HOME" and "jails.conf" (a script?), but each jail needs a "rootdir", which can be a path to whatever you want. You can configure this "rootdir" in /etc/rc.conf. Have a look there. Depending on how much space your actual jails are using, you may consider moving all your jails onto a new drive, instead of moving part of them. It is maybe easier to manage your system this way, although not necessary at all. Hope this will help you, Philippe _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
