I just never thought of that possibility.... Thanks for your insight! (off-topic) Could I have exited the /mnt jail with exit? I needed to run # zfs set mountpoint=/ zroot but got internal error: failed to initialize ZFS library which indeed is what happens in a chrooted jail. Would there have been another way for me to run the zfs? Regards, Freek PS: sorry for the delayed "thank you". I was mostly away from my keyboard this weekend.
