Deleted Jails directory

[PiP]

In an act of stupidity I have accidentally deleted the jails directory following an upgrade from 8.3.1 to 9.1. Which faults the 'automatic' pbi installation of transmission (reporting that .warden not found or something similar).

Is there a way to re-establish the desired directory / files? i.e. can I re-run the upgrade or something similar?

Regards

Jack

Is this a 32-bit or 64-bit system? UFS or ZFS?

 

[PiP]

64-bit and ZFS

 

[dlavigne]

Does creating a dataset named "jails" fix the issue or do you get the same (or another) error?
