https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=274568 Bug ID: 274568 Summary: rc.conf(5): Empty "jail_list" does not start jails defined in "/etc/jail.conf.d" Product: Base System Version: 13.2-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: conf Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: stephen.j.fox.jr@gmail.com According to the manual page for rc.conf(5), an empty "jail_list" variable should result in all jails being started on boot or with "service jail start": jail_list (str) A space-delimited list of jail names. When left empty, all of the jail(8) instances defined in the configuration file are started. The names specified in this list control the jail startup order. jail(8) instances missing from jail_list must be started manually. Note that a jail's depend parameter in the configuration file may override this list. In FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE, "service jail start" with an empty jail_list results in the following error message with an exit status of 0: "/etc/jail.conf: No such file or directory" The following shell output demonstrates this issue: ``` # uname -a FreeBSD freebsd-sketch 13.2-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p3 GENERIC amd64 # file /etc/jail.conf.d/foo.conf /etc/jail.conf.d/foo.conf: ASCII text # grep '^jail_list' /etc/rc.conf jail_list="" root@freebsd-sketch:~ # service jail start Starting jails:jail: /etc/jail.conf: No such file or directory . # echo $? 0 # jls JID IP Address Hostname Path # # Edit rc.conf to manually specify the "foo" jail. # grep '^jail_list' /etc/rc.conf jail_list="foo" # service jail start Starting jails: foo. # jls JID IP Address Hostname Path 3 foo. /zroot/jails/foo ``` -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
