Hello I would like to mount and unmount storage devices for backups from inside a jail. I asked this already in October but got no answer. Since I use 6.2 now I even have more questions.
Q1)If I unhide a device (i.e external drive) by rule for a jail and I can see it from inside the jail, why can't I mount it from inside the jail? What I tried from inside the jail ... # ls /dev/da0* /dev/da0 /dev/da0s1 /dev/da0s1c /dev/da0s1d # mount -t ufs /dev/da0s1d /media/usbdisk /dev/da0s1d: Operation not permitted Q2) By reading man rc.conf(5) ... There are new options like jail_<jname>_fstab and jail_<jname>_mount_enable, I tried to use them for a one of my jails, but I don't see any effect. What I tried from outside the jail # cat /etc/fstab.backup /dev/da0s1d /mnt/usbdisk ufs rw,noauto 2 2 # cat /etc/rc.conf | grep jail.backup jail_backup_rootdir="/jails/backup" jail_backup_hostname="backup.example.com" jail_backup_ip="192.168.0.2" jail_backup_mount_enable="YES" Anybody on this list knows more about jails then what manpage and handbook tells?
