Want 8.3 in a poudriere jail? Nope.

I tried this today, creating an 8.3-RELEASE jail for poudriere:

$ sudo poudriere jail -c -v 8.3-RELEASE -j releng_8_3
====>> Creating releng_8_3 fs... done
====>> Fetching sets for FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE amd64
fetch: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/8.3-RELEASE/base/CHECKSUM.SHA256: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
fetch: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/8.3-RELEASE/base/CHECKSUM.SHA256: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
====>> Error: Failed to fetch from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/8.3-RELEASE/base/CHECKSUM.SHA256
====>> Error while creating jail, cleaning up.
====>> Removing releng_8_3 jail... done

It failed. But that’s not the point of this post.

I was concerned when I saw this:

$ ls /usr/local/poudriere/jails/
$

What? Where are my jails?

Here’s the problem (I have restricted the output of the command to those filesystems related to poudriere jails):

$ zfs mount
system/poudriere                /usr/local/poudriere
system/poudriere/jails          /usr/local/poudriere/jails
system/poudriere/jails/releng_8_4  /usr/local/poudriere/jails/releng_8_4
system/poudriere/jails/releng_9_2  /usr/local/poudriere/jails/releng_9_2
system/usr/local/poudriere      /usr/local/poudriere
system/usr/local/poudriere/jails  /usr/local/poudriere/jails

See the last two items? They overlap with the to two items.

I have no idea why that happened. Perhaps it’s this setting in /usr/local/etc/poudriere.conf:

# root of the poudriere zfs filesystem, by default /poudriere
ZROOTFS=/usr/local/poudriere

# The directory where poudriere will store jails and ports
BASEFS=/usr/local/poudriere

I changed the ZROOTFS value to /poudriere and ran the command again. This time, no overlapping mount points.
