I run lots of jails and i just run freebsd-update like normal. I don't install the kern sets in the jails though, just base. cat base.?? | tar -xzf - -C /jails/jail0.sample ## setup /etc/resolv.conf in the jail ## run freebsd-update from within the jail ## it patches and runs fine. ## this is not the documented way to do it, but I haven't yet had problems with it. ## world for the jails will take about 128MB of disk space, any services you add are on top of that.
