While we are at it: I want to add that updating stuff in/usr/bin fails =20 with a read-only base system. In my case I have jails where the basesystem is a RO nullfs mount. It =20 is shared between all jails. In case someone wants to reproduce it, =20 you just have to use ezjails (it is in the ports collection) to create =20 jails. You just need to add a path with enough free space to the =20 config, add an additional IP to the machine and then run "ezjail-admin =20 create ..." (please consult the man page for options to use a prebuild =20 world and how specify the IP to use). Bye, Alexander. --=20 No small art is it to sleep: it is necessary for that purpose to keep awake all day. =09=09-- Nietzsche http://www.Leidinger.net Alexander @ Leidinger.net: PGP ID =3D B0063FE7 http://www.FreeBSD.org netchild @ FreeBSD.org : PGP ID =3D 72077137
