Re: Moving jails from one computer to another

Not having actually tried it yet, it would seem to be possible given: Both computers: are the same arch (i386, in my case). are running the same kernel and userland (e.g., FreeBSD RELENG_6_1) have identical jail environments (e.g., sysutils/ezjail) by coincidence i've finished moving a jail-environment from 1 disc to a bigger disc and then to another machine today unfortunately i had to rebuild world because the clock was wrong and got a touch: file not found which turned out to be a FAQ after i already restarted with time make buildworld etc. but of course normally that shouldn't happen in your case you already have another disc ready, and if e.g. your jails are in /usr/jails/ then you would replicate the relevant /etc/rc.conf content (without ezjail that is) not sure where ezjail saves it's config-files, but that's probably easy to replicate too ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Postfix + clamav-milter

Reading the Postfix forum, it seems that people are having problems with it everyday. I just want to keep it as simple as possible, Amavisd requires mucking around in the master.cf file and I would rather not get involved in that if possible. what's the problem with editing master.cf ? and if you only want anti-virus checking, try clamsmtp (it's in the ports), it's rather easy to set up if you quickly read the documentation and compared to amavis config-file it's a breeze to edit the config ;) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
