RE: Ezjail freebsd-update
I had an opportunity to upgrade a server from freebsd 8.1 to 8.2 since it had to be restarted any way. I upgraded it with freebsd-update and compiled a custom kernel with no problem. However I haven't been able to find a procedure for updating jails when they've been setup with ezjail. I did 'ezjail-admin update -u' however it doesn't seem like that upgraded things like the /etc/ dir inside jails. I'm not too worried since everything is working however if anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. I figure this will be especially important when moving to 9.0 when it's released. I always use ezjail_admin update -i Then do the normal mergemaster steps for the jails mergemaster -iU -D /your/path/to/jail You need to do that for every jail you have So if you have three jails named jail_1, jail_2 and jail_3, you do this three times. mergemaster -iU -D /your/path/to/jail_1 mergemaster -iU -D /your/path/to/jail_2 mergemaster -iU -D /your/path/to/jail_3 regards, Johan Hendriks___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Ezjail then grabs the sources and rebuilds everything. If you already have everything built locally, e.g. you csup'd the sources, did the make buildworld, etc., you can then just issue an ezjail-admin update -i. I'm not familiar with the -u option to ezjail and my man pages do not show it as an option. ; -- Randy(schu...@earlham.edu) 765.983.1283 * nosce te ipsum ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: Ezjail freebsd-update
Actually you don't have to rebuild the basejail. You may simply rerun ezjail-admin install, which will fetch the binary files for your release (uname -r) and will apply them if needed.
