I could not even run zfs from within the jail. Maybe I did something wrong -- so I am setting up a test box where I can try them all out. I also came across these links https://clinta.github.io/freebsd-jails-the-hard-way/ http://aaron.baugher.biz/unix/freebsd-jails-zfs-1 I will give these a try. However, neither confirms (or maybe I missed it) if I can manage/manupulate the zfs datasets from within the jail -- and that seems to be the logical approach based on various emails on the mailing lists. So, what I am really after is some kind of a pointer/direction, maybe even a rough sketch of a how-to, that would help in getting started at least. I am not new to jails -- it is just that so far most of my jails were on UFS systems and I never encountered this issue of data mismatch between what the Jail can see and what the host can see.
