Upgrade plugin jails under 11.3

[Basil Hendroff]

Having successfully upgraded my FreeNAS servers to 11.3, I noticed that plugin jails were still at 11.2-RELEASE-p9. When I update those through the UI (this never worked for me under 11.2), the jail release changed to 11.2-RELEASE-p15. However, when I shell into a plugin jail, the banner suggests that the jail is at release 11.3-RELEASE-p5. Is this expected behaviour? Are the jails really at 11.3-RELEASE-p5, but the UI is saying otherwise?

Update and Upgrade are not interchangeable terms.
Update takes the jail to the latest patch level and Upgrade changes the RELEASE.
The GUI display of the jails shows the RELEASE the jails are running.
The jail shell shows the Release of the server.

Use "iocage upgrade -r 11.3-RELEASE [jailname]" to upgrade each jail.

Is Upgrade a 'missing feature' in the jail UI?

EDIT: It's certainly slow upgrading a jail release. I'm wondering if it might be quicker to start afresh with a new 11.3 jail in some instances.

If you think it is, raise a Feature Request.

@Alecmascot Thanks for clarifying what I've been observing and how I work around it.
