--=-=-= Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I am running multiple jails on my 4.7-STABLE server, but seriously want to cut back on redundant file storage. In my current setup, I have multiple jail directories, each with a complete FreeBSD installation. I would like to migrate to a setup where all jails share one common "base" filesystem mounted read-only, and have small jail-specific directories for local read-write access. My thinking is that, at a minimum, I'd need r/w mounts for: /dev /etc /home /root /tmp /usr/local /var Is there anything else that should be included? Second question. Somehow or another, I'll need to mount those directories inside the jail. I've been using NFS mounts to localhost to share /usr/ports across jails. Is this still the recommended stable method for what I'm trying to accomplish? The union (and null) filesystems look like they'd be ideal, but the man page warnings are a pretty strong deterrent to use on a production system. =2D-=20 Kirk Strauser --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA+rE3d5sRg+Y0CpvERAsHYAKCMf+Grq/ql5tOEa9bqGW60GA4s9gCfag/D Ft4i0q+JcIeGnYclOJLK9M0= =XG+N -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
