I’ve been getting these messages in /var/log/messages on slocum for as long as I can remember. Today I found out why those errors are occurring. They are logged on the FreeBSD jail host for a Nagios instance I run. Nagios runs in a jail on that host. I’ve just been ignoring the messages, but today […]

I noticed this the other day, and thought it was interesting. When the jailed property is set on a ZFS fileset, it affects the mountpoint within the jail. If your jail uses allow.mount.zfs (known as allow_mount_zfs when using iocage), the mountpoints become relative to the jail. For example, in my poudriere jail, this is what

Well, this isn’t very nice.

In this post, I’m not exporting an iocage jail to another host. I am moving the entire iocage instance to another host. This is accomplished by doing a zfs export on the zpool, moving the drives to a new system, and doing a zfs import. The drive migration is covered in a previous post. In

Today is the day. Today I move a zpool from an R710 into an R720. The goal: all services on that zpool start running on the new host. Fortunately, that zpool is dedicated to jails, more or less. I have done some planning about this, including moving a poudriere on the R710 into a jail.

This post is all about moving poudriere from the host into a jail, but you could probably use it for creating a new jail and running poudriere in it. NOTE: If you’re looking for a jail configuration for poudriere, please refer to Configuration for running poudriere in a jail on FreeBSD 14 – it contains

Today the drive caddies arrived for the R720. I refer to the services provided by the R710, not the server itself. I will list those services later and outline how I want to move them. I could do all this over this coming weekend but I have already allocated that time to some errands I

I planned to create a zroot mirror when I installed FreeBSD on the R720 but the supplier shipped only one of the two purchased SSDs. Today the second drive arrived. Let’s create a zroot mirror. In this post: FreeBSD 12 man 8 zpool Posts I looked at: creating a mirrored ZFS Pool out of a

Over the years, I have learned not to rely on hostnames for important services. Hosts go away, new ones come in. I want to rely on, what I refer to as, service names. For example, instead of relying on a hostname for my ntp server, I have: $ host time time.int.unixathome.org has address 10.55.0.1 This
