Nope not quite. Since you could actually crash the kernel in the VM/Linux
session and the others are still going. Crash the kernel in a jail and
all sessions are toast. Note I do like jail on FreeBSD one thing that
would be nice with jail is if the IP address for the jail disappeared
from the non-jail machine. For example sendmail doesn't like to
send mail to the jail session if it sees the jail's IP is one of its
own IPs. Sort of like, I'm already there why bother and it could
cause mail looping under mis-configuration. This isn't a problem for
the IBM type solution or vmware. Then with IBM the machine can disable
a bad CPU and call home for a fix. None of the session are bothered
(except performance) assuming you have more then one CPU working.
Maybe we heard different bragging.
