Jail setup
From wikinotes
Overview
There are generally two styles of jails.
- Thin jails share a base install with other jails (to decrease their size)
- Thick jails are entirely independent (you can for example freebsd-upgrade within a thick jail)
Configuration:
- jails are defined in
/etc/jail.conf- jails can have their own fstabs
- jails that start with system are defined in
/etc/rc.conf
Notes:Thick jails are generally less problematic than thin jails.
(ex: you easily can copy/test freebsd-upgrade within a thick jail)
An empty thick jail is 2G (quite small). Consider that carefully before deciding to create a thin jail.
