Hello,

I have a box running a 6.2-RELEASE with 3 jails and 6.3 is coming soon. So can I update my kernel (and how) without any trouble for the users in the jails ?

I know that there is a binary compatibility between 6.2 and 6.3 but can I do a source update, make world, make kernel, install kernel, install world, mergemaster and leave the jails unchanged ?

You can use source upgrade, or "brand new" binary upgrade

I have test machine, where I upgraded host system from 6.2 to 7.0-BETA4 and Jails are still 6.2. Everything works withou any problem. (but this machine in not heavily loaded)

Or if you want, you can upgrade host kernel and world and then jails world.
