(other than by doing the filesystem limitations above) you'll want to look elswhere. If CPU/memory isn't as big an issue, and/or if you're not giving the jail root out, jails could provide added levels of security for programs and applications you're running. -Michael Wolfe President, Simon1, Ltd

I'm having some problems with a RAID setup and the network on a new system. I haven't found anyone mentioning the problems in the searching I've done (Google, FreeBSD Website, mailing lists). Hopefully someone can get me pointed in the right direction or tell me what I'm missing (or fix a bug
