Move Jails root

[s25a]

Hi,

maybe someone can help me to move my jail root. I had some jails for testing but removed everyting- also the Plugins I installed. So no jails or plugins activated yet.
I now wanted to remove the Jails root but unfortunatlly it does not allow me. I can change the path to the new one and save and it confirms but when updating the Gui the Old path is inm again

I also see that there is obviously some old data in the path I cannot delete.

So is there a way to completely stop the Jails service reset the data folder and start from scratch.

Thanks S

Yes. Make sure there are no running jails under 'Jails'. If you no longer require them, you can simply delete them.

Hi,

as you can see on the screenshots there are no Jails and no Plugins that are running.
But I could solve the Problem. The folder was shared (SMB Share). I had to deactivate this share and stop the SMB Service. I then could move the root to a different Dataset.
