Yes I'd like to know more about jails, is there a high level /
executive summary type document that I can read somewhere? From what I
remember jails are mostly designed to partition stuff... for security
reasons.

What I'd really love to do is split up each service (httpd, postgres,
samba/nfs,  ldap/nis, asterisk, etc.) into discrete virtual machines.
It's too much work trying to make them all play nice on one system,
especially during upgrades. As it is right now I don't upgrade any
services once a system is in production use.

Hi,

For first read man jail. :) Apache, bind, mysql and postfix run fine in a jail. For postgres you've to turn on the jail.ipc. This is basicly not so bad, but definitely reduces security. For samba/nfs/ldap/nis and asterisk I don't have the experience, but if they not need ipc, they'll run fine out of the box. In jails I suggest that you mount your ports tree with some nullfs mount. With this you'll save some hd capacity. (The installed port list is in /var, not in /usr/ports.) In jails you can't do resource control, so keep that in mind.

Regards,
Andras
