I have a 8.0 host system with a few jails (using ezjail) that I am gearing to update to 8.2. I have used freebsd-update a few times in the past to upgrade a system between releases, but how I would I go about using it to also upgrade a few jails made using ezjail? I would obviously need to point freebsd-update to use /basejail as root which I assume isn't too hard, but what about having it merge the new/changed /etc files in individual jails? I've also discovered the "ezjail-admin install -h file://" option which installs a basejail using the host system as base, am I right in thinking I could also use this by first upgrading my host and then running this command to write the /basejail over with the updated files from the host to bring them into sync? I still don't know how I would then fix the /etc under each individual jail though. - Sincerely, Dan Naumov
