Migrating Jails / ZFS Send - not working as expected.

[kazjim]

G'day all, I've followed several threads on here around moving my jails to a new pool.
Long story short, i think they are all a little 'old' and out of date.

I'm on FreeNAS-11.2-U2.1 and it is a fresh build.

I think the path to the jails has changed in a recent version, here is a guide I followed

• zfs snapshot -r NAS/jails@relocate
• zfs send -R NAS/jails@relocate | zfs receive -v -f Jails
• zfs get -rH -o name -s received mountpoint Jails | xargs -I {} sh -c "zfs set mountpoint=/{} {}; zfs mount {};"

I believe the paths should now include the iocage directory as well, yes?

e.g.

• zfs snapshot -r NAS/iocage/jails@relocate
• zfs send -R NAS/iocage/jails@relocate | zfs receive -v -f Jails/iocage
• zfs get -rH -o name -s received mountpoint Jails/iocage | xargs -I {} sh -c "zfs set mountpoint=/{} {}; zfs mount {};"

Does this seem right to all?

Or should I just replace jails with iocage??

Cheers

Did you figure this out?

Sort of ....

Long story short, yes, you need to use the IOCAGE path, however after they are migrated, you cannot edit the mount points - the script above doesn't really seem to work

I ended up editing the FSTAB for each of the jails with mount points and doing a ^/ and replacing the path name with the new path.

All seemed to work after that..

Except one jail, that I can no longer 'edit' to enable auto-start ..... meh, I can just rebuild that one :)
