You only need 1 master jail and a bunch of nullfs read only mounts plus some exclusive space for each jail. I run 44 jails at the moment this way. Upgrading is relatively easy as I only have to upgrade one master jail (and unfortunately lots of jail etc if such happens but a few scripts can automate much of that). I basically set up /local/jails/master and install according to man jail into this place. I never start this jail. I happen to use disk backed md devices as the root for each jail. I mount each on on /local/jail/<jailname> Then I do /sbin/mount_nullfs -o ro /local/jails/master/bin /local/jails/adcmw/bin /sbin/mount_nullfs -o ro /local/jails/master/lib /local/jails/adcmw/lib /sbin/mount_nullfs -o ro /local/jails/master/libexec /local/jails/ adcmw/libexec /sbin/mount_nullfs -o ro /local/jails/master/sbin /local/jails/adcmw/ sbin /sbin/mount_nullfs -o ro /local/jails/master/usr /local/jails/adcmw/usr /sbin/mount -t procfs proc /local/jails/adcmw/proc devfs_domount /local/jails/adcmw/dev devfsrules_jail devfs_set_ruleset devfsrules_jail /local/jails/adcmw/dev /sbin/devfs -m /local/jails/adcmw/dev rule -s 4 applyset In my master jail I have some symlinks so that each jail has its own / usr/local/ that is writable. All the jails run out of one installed jail and they also have the side benefit of the main system directories being read only so exploits in one jail cannot affect all the running jails.
Wow, I really like the setup you have make.. One question.How do you update the system(and the jail) ? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
