Should I file a bug report? according to the manpage, unionfs is still buggy in 7.2: BUGS THIS FILE SYSTEM TYPE IS NOT YET FULLY SUPPORTED (READ: IT DOESN'T WORK) AND USING IT MAY, IN FACT, DESTROY DATA ON YOUR SYSTEM. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. BEWARE OF DOG. SLIPPERY WHEN WET. I'm using nullfs to do what you're trying and it just works. regards, Ruben ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
jail/system crash with mount_unionfs
OS: FreeBSD 7.2 release / Generic kernel I used CSUP to download the source tree, and the RELENG_7_2, no date specified. I didn't rebuild the base OS world/kernel. I have installed a lot of ports on the main system, most of what the jail would need is also already installed - so the distfiles and ports directories are already setup to speed of the install process. I figured I'd save time and effort and use unionfs to allow both systems to use the same ports directory (to be safe, I won't compile things from both systems at the same time, but keeping the same ports directory was fine. I followed the jail creation instructions in the handbook posted on the www.freebsd.org Once the jail was created, I made a script to union the ports directories: ts.org_mount_ports #!/bin/sh mount_unionfs /usr/ports /data/jail/ts.org/usr/ports/ I also have my jail shell startup script: ts.org_shell #!/bin/sh jail -s 2 /data/jail/ts.org/ ts.org.mydomain 192.168.1.83 /bin/sh [s...@boromir /data/jail]$ ls ts.org/usr/ports [s...@boromir /data/jail]$ sudo ./ts.org_mount_ports [s...@boromir /data/jail]$ ls ts.org/usr/ports ... ports directory listing omitted [s...@boromir /data/jail]$ sudo ./ts.org_shell # cd /usr/ports # ls The base operating system hangs at this point. later: [s...@boromir /data/jail]$ ls ts.org/usr/ports [s...@boromir /data/jail]$ cd ts.org/usr/ports [s...@boromir /data/jail/ts.org/usr/ports]$ cp -rf /usr/ports/* . [s...@boromir /data/jail/ts.org/usr/ports]$ cd /data/jail [s...@boromir /data/jail]$ ls ts.org/usr/ports ... ports directory listing omitted [s...@boromir /data/jail]$ sudo ./ts.org_shell # cd /usr/ports # ls ... ports directory listing omitted As you can see, there is a work around, so I'm not that /bothered/ by this, but it'd be nice to know what's up. Am I doing something wrong? If not, can anyone replicate this? Should I file a bug report?
