I like the ide of mounting the template read only. I had to = splice in the other nullfs filesystems so that things that need to be = read-write can be. >=20 > But it seems kinda funky. Inside the jail it looks like EVERYTHING is = read-only and you have no way of knowing that /tmp is actually = read-write. There seems to be a violation of the segregation going on = here. >=20 > What pitfalls can you see in a file system scheme like this for my = jails? Is the above behavior by design or did I find a flaw? I have been doing this for years with great success. I don't = understand your question. How does it look like everything is read = only from inside the jail? The fact that a "df" only shows the root = filesystem and not all your others file systems? (assuming that is still = the truth -- my jails do this on older FBSD systems)
