11.2U4 broke my jail mounts

[rglover666]

I was able to resolve this issue by manually editing the fstab(s) and replacing any spaces with tabs. This solution saved me the effort of recreating the mount points in the GUI. Possibly related to https://jira.ixsystems.com/browse/NAS-101252

I am not sure what the replacing any spaces with tabs means?

I guess I should have said that I removed any spaces that were acting as delimiters and made sure that I only used tabs. I suspect that the fix for 101252 does not allow the use of spaces for delimiters any longer.

My fstab files contained spaces as well as tabs for delimiters like this:

/mnt/disk2/Share/Documents<sp><tab>/mnt/iocage/jails/jail1/root/mnt/disk1<tab><sp><sp>nullfs<tab>rw<tab>0<sp><sp>0

and I changed it to:

/mnt/disk2/Share/Documents<tab>/mnt/iocage/jails/jail1/root/mnt/disk1<tab>nullfs<tab>rw<tab>0<tab>0

My stab entries did not break when I updated from U3 to U4. This is a strange issue.

I have to agree with Raidflex. This is not beta software and I held off until it was in the Production chain. This is a step backwards as the Fstab mount points are heavily used in most Jails...

OK, even stranger, they released a hotfix, but did not address this issue...

so why do some people have issues and others do not...?

I think it only affects jails migrated from pre 11.2.

I think it only affects jails migrated from pre 11.2.

Yes, I had also spaces in a migrated jail. When comparing my fstab to that of the other newly created jails the only difference was <tab> to <space>.

I am not sure what the replacing any spaces with tabs means?

Open a console on your freenas system and use jls <enter> to find out your jail names and then ee /mnt/VolZ1/iocage/jails/<jail name>/fstab to change spaces to tabs. Leave editor with <esc> and save file.

Hoping someone can help with my issue....

I had the issue with the spaces after upgrading to u4, but i fixed them and now have a different error "Malformed ftab at line 14:" with the same line in fstab

line 14, I have looked at it multiple times, and cant see the issue

EDIT: I found the issue, as I was posting this, I realized there was a blank line after line 14, I removed it and all is well
