Re: src upgrading jails (no ezjail, no service jails)

Yeah, I ran it and it mostly worked, although running mergemaster -p -D /path/to/jail before installworld didn't really back up files like it normally does, but I was able to pull the most recent backup and fix that. I use ezjail here, and it will automate a lot of these steps for you. Is there a reason that you can't use it? I didn't create these jails with ezjails, so I was working under the impression that I could not use ezjail to upgrade them. Is that not correct?

src upgrading jails (no ezjail, no service jails)
I have 4 jails that are running 8.2-RELEASE that I would like to upgrade. The host system, which was also running 8.2-RELEASE, has been successfully upgraded to 8.2-p2. I have /usr/src ready with the new world and new kernel. I did not create the jails using ezjails, so I cannot use that utility to upgrade it. I did not create the jails using the template method described in Handbook (section 15.6.1.2), so the method recommended to upgrade them, i.e.: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/jails-application.html#JAILS-SERVICE-JAILS-UPGRADING would not work for me.
