Yes, it would be useful (I mean CPU/MEM/#PROCS limits), but as I understand there are two kinds of opinions about jails. First is that it should be extended and allow to create a real virtual server and second is that it should be light-weight. +> Pawel had some really interesting ideas for jails, but it seems that +> he's too busy to work on them at the moment.

I've made some fixes a week or something ago, I just created a patch against HEAD if you want to try it: http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/patches/jail_2005020101.patch There can still be some remaining issues, but I don't have time for more detailed tests. The thing that can be useful IMHO is possibility to use reboot(8)/shutdown(8), etc. inside a jail, but... I'm unfortunately too busy with other (probably less interesting, but profitable) projects. --=20 Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl pjd@FreeBSD.org http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?
