https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=295674 Bug ID: 295674 Summary: handbook: Jail upgrading procedure Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Books & Articles Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: jbo@FreeBSD.org The following has been on my mind for several weeks now and I feel like I am missing something that is extremely obvious to everyone else. After some continuous encouragement from cracauer@ I am finally filing a PR on this expecting to face palm myself very hard for the coming months and years... Section 17.7.1 of the handbook covers upgrading a jail. Specifically it mentions: > # freebsd-update -j classic -r 13.2-RELEASE upgrade > # freebsd-update -j classic install > # service jail restart classic > # freebsd-update -j classic install > # service jail restart classic And just below that the following note: > It is necessary to execute the install step two times. > The first one upgrades the kernel, and the second one upgrades > the rest of the components. The same appears to be the case for section 17.7.2. For years I was under the impression that a jail doesn't have it's own kernel; It's using the host's kernel. Why would we freebsd-update install and restart the jail twice? What am I missing here? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
