Bug ID: 295674
Summary: handbook: Jail upgrading procedure
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Books & Articles
Assignee: [email protected]

The following has been on my mind for several weeks now and I feel like I am
missing something that is extremely obvious to everyone else. After some
continuous encouragement from cracauer@ I am finally filing a PR on this
expecting to face palm myself very hard for the coming months and years...
Section 17.7.1 of the handbook covers upgrading a jail. Specifically it
mentions:
> # freebsd-update -j classic -r 13.2-RELEASE upgrade
> # freebsd-update -j classic install
> # service jail restart classic
> # freebsd-update -j classic install
> # service jail restart classic
And just below that the following note:
> It is necessary to execute the install step two times.
> The first one upgrades the kernel, and the second one upgrades
> the rest of the components.
The same appears to be the case for section 17.7.2.
For years I was under the impression that a jail doesn't have it's own kernel;
It's using the host's kernel. Why would we freebsd-update install and restart
the jail twice?
What am I missing here?
